Gurus,
Dale’s experience mirrors mine and other gurus. He instinctively did the right thing. In normal times, the coach and bags will do the right thing....but sometimes...especially in cold weather...the bag does not have the flexibility to pop back nto the correct sealed position.
If this happens to me...here is what I try....YMMV
1. Get the coach into a level place where you can idle safely for a few minutes.
2. Use the distance between the mud flaps and the ground as an easy way of seeing if you are leaning.
3. Use the leveling system to dump all the air out of the bags.
4. Once the air is all out the coach should be sitting level. (If not you have a different problem)
5. Go back to travel mode and put the engine on High Idle to re-flate the bags.
6. When the coach is back to travel height, verify that it is sitting level by looking at the mud flaps.
If this does not work... try steps 3-6 again.
Note: For some coaches the body will set down on the wheels and make driving impossible. For my coach, the coach stays high enough that I can limp along even with the air dumped from the bags.
