Iam probably going to wear out welcome here. Coach leaning left. Measured from wheel well to surface. 1 1/4 difference. Put air in left side to 60 psi. 40 psi on right side. Helped a little. Question is the air bag about 8" in dia? If so how much air is permissable? This looks like a big rubber grommet over axle. Being I am here, what transmission is code E.?

Not sure what kind of air bags you have but my firestone ride-rite air bags say not to exceed 100 psi
Try evening the load in your storage bays first before using air bags to level out.

Thanks John, I have already done that. Did not notice any difference, although Gen is on that side also water and holding tanks. I failed to mention it is C class.

It sounds like your Class C may have been built with too much weight on one side, or there is a suspension/spring problem. I see in your profile info it is a '95 model so it is possible one side of the suspension springs may have been over stressed and weakened over time. I would suggest having a good alignment/suspension shop check the springs.

Wanabee's advice is the way to go. Springs will either need to be re-arc'd or replaced. The issue is quite common.

Thanks to you'all. I crawled under and looked at the springs. They look almost straight. Will try to find shop in my area.
