When in travel mode the coach appears to be uneven front to back, higher in front, squat look to the rear. Looking at the side profile the coach is absolutely uneven front to back. I looked up ride height specs for our coach 9.5" front and 11" rear. Am I missing something, a reset or does it need adjustment. Our coach is a 2004 Windsor. Thanks in advance for any opinion.

suemac1.......You gave the ride height figures, but you didn't say if you actually checked them. The figures look about right, but you're going to have to get a tape out and mesure. You also need to know where the measurements are taken on your coach. My 05, the measurement is taken between the plates that sandwich the airbags.

suemac1......I owned my coach for a year before I got the courage to mess with the ride height. Once I did, it was no big deal. I've adjusted it on three different coaches for friends. Mine sat just like yours. When I checked it, it was an inch high in the front and one inch low in the rear. Once I adjusted it, two problems were solved. My towbar sat 2" too low at the motor home connection and after the adjustment my tow bar sat level. What really surprised me was the ride improvement. Apparently, having the weight distribution off changes how they ride.

Don & Mary,

We booked an appointment with Traction out of London Ont. to adjust our alignment and WOW what a difference. The mechanic/magician was amazing,the toe out was ridiculous but the camber was o.k. so in his view the fix was pretty straight forward...literally. He also showed us how to adjust ride height, what a great guy. So it appears for now we have overcome another crises. Thanks for your interest and tips...

Doug and Susan.
