Leveling question.

I have an 05 Fleetwood DP with Powergear auto leveler. If the left side is low, it levels almost perfectly but the left side will still be just a tad low.

If the right side is low, then when finished, the right side will be a tad low.

I’ve recalibrated it but it’s the same. Never really bothered me. If the ac was dripping by the door I would set it to manual and bump it a little to compensate.

Allow it to auto level, then correct as required.

Get the manual and go through the recalibration procedure. Find a level parking lot to do it in. Some just never seem to get things perfectly level, though..... Maybe you'll be lucky and have one that does...

If anyone is moving around in the motorhome when it is auto leveling, it will never level correctly. Doug

Two choices: (3 actually)

Do all of the leveling by hand and forget "automatic".

Use automatic and touch up as needed.

Use automatic.....and then if you don't notice anything that bothers you, leave it there. It doesn't need to be PERFECTLY level.

Auto level is the only function on my rig that actually works 100% of the time.

I stopped using the auto level feature. It seems like it would make it way more complicated than it needed to be. Like a Rube Goldberg machine. Twisting and creaking the MH, back and forth, up and down and eventually level but in a way that made no sense often with one or more of the wheels off the ground. Almost like it was continually compensating for itself. I manually level and it's so much easier and simple and I can do it in 1/4 the time. I have level bubbles in the MH but more often than not, a lot of MH surfaces aren't parallel. Like the countertop and the table and the floor are all just a tad bit off. I use the level on my smart phone in various spots and take the median. We also have a large slide and I tend to favor that side a hair higher as I know after a day or so that side will settle down an inch or so because of the weight. I don't stress over it, it's a MH usually on a non level surface with tires and suspension that will settle and move a bit, so I get it as close as I can and move on to other things.

I also only manually level. Seems to put way less stress on the motorhome. My auto level also seems to bring up the motorhome higher than is necessary. Many times it brings the front wheels off the ground.

Thanks everyone. I just thought if it was automatic then it should be automatic. No help from me. Wish I could have just stayed with my old 2003 Tradewinds.

My auto levelers (Well semi auto) Failed completly now fully manual and I'm still working on the system.

But that said. There is a "Range" to the level it is not absolut center of circle (Assumes a round level) .. The senistive device can be 3 deggrees off level..

Side to side. that can be over 4 INCHES.. I'd not want to sleep that far off

(end to end it is over a foot on my rig and I've been there for a period).
