Auto level-slide open best sequence?

Question

We bought a new Bighorn 5er with the auto level feature. At the campsite, hit the auto level button and presto, the RV is perfectly level according to a 2’ level placed on the floor in front of the fridge. Slides were put out and we settled in for a nice camping experience. After going to bed, I felt like my head was going DOWN hill. I checked the level on the floor in front of the fridge again and the bubble had moved indicating that the fridge / head of bed side of RV was definitely lower by 1 ½”. My question is: Does it matter if I put out the slides BEFORE or AFTER hitting the auto level feature or is there another issue I need to address?

I would think your trailer settled or maybe hydraulic leak. Check for a fluid leak. Do you have the Big Foot system? The weight of the slide was always there. Maybe a frame issue?

I have the auto level system too.

While it is doing the leveling then hook everything up outside then go inside and put the slides out. Makes set up quick and easy.

I would say you might have a leak.

We always auto level before putting out the slides...if it's moving et2 is right, either you have a leak or a foot is sinking into the ground...

I would think you should check out the Heartland RV Owner's Forum for advice from Big Horn owners.
