Gordon, That is essentially what we are doing...except the wheel chock. By leveling without the e-brake you avoid the problem altogether....but you add the hassle of bringing, placing, and remembering to pick up the chocks.

This situation happened last night. I pulled into Newell and did NOT level. (The lots here are very close to level already) I just left the coach at travel height, put out the slides and went to bed. During the night, something in my suspension let out some of the air in the passenger side. The coach made a groaning sound and lurched as the the e-brakes slipped into the new level height. I got up and while holding brake with foot, released and re-applyed the e-brake. The coach settled into a new attitude and did not make the noise again.

In this case, the process that Gordon proposes would not work because you end up reapplying the e-brake. If the coach settles because of you left the HWH system in auto level, or the coach loses air you will still be fighting the e-brake. (Unless you avoid the e-brake and chock each of the tires).

This is a design flaw of this vintage coach, and I wish Newell would step up with well-engineered solution.
