I've noticed that the coach is about 1&1/2" inches lower on the curb side than the road side while sitting on its home pad. The pad is level side to side and with two blocks it's almost level front to back. It is more noticeable when the air is dumped, but slightly noticeable at full air. I suspect the rear air bags because they have two controllers instead of just one in the front. This difference seems more than ride height adjustment would correct, and the Monaco tech doubted that the ride height would be off. I did get the ride height specs which are 8&5/16" in front and 9&3/16" rear for a 2008 Monaco Knight. The tires are aired correctly. Anybody else have a similar condition? Thanks for any replies!

Had a similar problem with an 02 Endeavor. There was a 2x3x1 inch par;t in the front by the generator. It had one air line in and 2 out. It controlled air going to the air bags. It was leaking. Bought the part online for 1/10 of what Monaco wanted. Good Luck.

I dont know why the tec would tell you that, that is the first thing I would check and the ride height is not always set correct or can get out of adjustment. After you adjust the ride height be sure to blow the air out and air up and check again.

Well the big question I have is this in Travel Mode as you go down the road or after you have leveled with air leveling? If it is as it goes down the road and it is like that right after you shut the motor off then it is ride height adjustment, if it leans after a period of time then it is a leak in the system. If you leveled it with air leveling and it leans then look at the leveling control panel and see if it shows it is level. If the panel shows it is not level after it was leveled then you have to adjust the leveling level sensor.

If you air leveled it and after 3-4 days it starts to lean and the air tanks are below 100 psi then you have either shut down the MH in such away that the auxiliary air compressor for the air leveling system is off so it cannot correct any lean or the auxiliary air compressor is not working.

One last thing. If you pulled in and had to make a tight turn to get on the pad it is possible that caused the MH to lean. So if you have an air dump then dump it and then bring it back up into Travel Mode and see if it is now level.
