Air leveling Rock & roll

Is there a procedure to minimize the movement when walking around the coach?

Depends on the coach.. some only have air bags, and some have air bags with drop down jacks/stabilizers.

If you have air leveling, you can drop coach down as low as it goes before leveling. Be sure your front wheels are straight before dropping coach. It won't eliminate it, by will reduce the movement.

We have air only leveling. Actually don't mine the little movement at all. Reminds us of our boating days.

Dump the suspension before setting the jacks. But you really should follow the procedure in your manual regardless.

Our Windsor has air leveling only, no hydraulic jacks. I dump the air, letting the coach down to it's lowest point, then level. We can feel a little movement when someone is walking around, but not much.

It has gotten worse since the earthquake and now it won’t stay up in the front.

I don't really notice it too much. I do drop the rig all the way and level from there though.

I don't know that it helps or not. I drop the coach as low as possible so the first step getting in is a little manageable. Frankly, we don't care of coach is rocking or not. We're use to it I guess.

Rocking for an RV is the nature of the beast. But stabilizing will (help) if it bothers you that much.

Is yours all air, or hydraulic????

I have air-only leveling, and cannot dump the main tanks from inside, as it was designed that way.
I level it and the bags hold everything up and level. The mains can leak down and the coach doesn't move!
The main tanks are independent of the bags that level the coach.
And that's all I have to say about that!
