On our coach, we have to start the engine to pull the slides in (all electric).
I don't doubt this but am surprised you have to do this. My strategy is pull the slides in, lift the jacks, disconnect power and hoses (If I didn't do that the night before), do a walk around, start up and pull out as soon as the air pressure alarm goes off. Usually only 1 minute to air up unless been in the same spot for a long time.
Like the idea posted earlier to build air up the night before.
The engine must be running for the compressor to air-up the air bags as the coach needs to be at ride height for the slides to come in. We do not have jacks, air bag leveling only.
Our slides are extremely robust and (I'm assuming) need the full electric power to keep everything running smooth (we have four alternators).
Also, we do not leave early so I would think we are not bothering anyone.
