Slides out or autolevelers down first?
We’re now on our third Class A MH and the dealer insisted slides go out first . We have always leveled first. Any thoughts?

Common sense (regardless of what the coach builder says) dictates being level before deploying slide(s). That's all there is to it! Slide mechanisms are not designed to operate when out of level. Read the slide out manual, or call the slide manufacturer.
I have to agree.
I'm not one to countermand whatever an RV manufacturer says in its literature provided with the RV, but it makes zero sense to me to extend slides if the vehicle is out of level.
It's simple physics - gravity's going to come into play if things aren't level, and the energy required to move slides in/out will obviously not be the same.
Unless it's mechanically impossible - like my new coach.
