leveling during overnight stops

[wannavolunteerF]

I have been following Class A forum for a while, as I plan to move from my TT I love to a Class A in 2-3 years to travel fulltime for a while. I suddenly had a question that I have never seen addressed, and don't have a clue about.

When you make an overnight stop and you have a four-wheel down toad, do you disconnect toad before you use auto-levelers? I have driven my parents Class C with 4wheel down toad and didn't disconnect, but they didn't have auto-levelers. Their class C was small and just leveled by parking as level as possible (and using blocks if needed). I am looking at a 34-38 ft Class A, so I imagine finding a level spot without having to use auto-levelers would be more difficult.

since I will primarily by myself, I don't see doing much parking lot overnights, and wonder if I need to disconnect toad. Part of the appeal of the Class A is being able to stop and stay overnight without having to get out of vehicle and connect/disconnect if weather is bad or I am just too darn tired.

If I was stopping for the night and the spot was level there were times I didn't level. That was with a 38' Mountain Aire with 2 slides.

I don't disconnect unless we're going shopping, to dinner, etc. the MH levels just fine with the toad connected.

We don't unhook either for overnight stops. And we do use the automatic levelers.

No I don't. the tow bar will adjust to the M/H hight. just like it does going down the road.

Yes, we do level our coach with the toad connected. Our all-terrain tow bar doesn't care if it's level or not, making unhooking/rehooking easy if we should decide to drive the toad somewhere later on.

Unless I am going somewhere, I never disconnect the toad for a stop. With it in neutral, as the coach shifts to level, it will just move the toad as it needs to. Never been a problem.
