The air will leak down over time so really matters not what state you place it.

When I park I dump air and then use the jacks to level and pretty much leave it that way while not using.

My storage facility is quite level so I just dump the air when I park, and I do not lower the jacks.

when you say you dump the air, how far do you dump - zero, ten, twenty, etc.
thx in advance.
btw, my dump switch isn’t very effective so i tend to use the brakes to dump ... any problems caused by doing that?

You can quite easily HEAR the air coming out on mine when I use the dump switch... gives me time to make sure the front wheels are straight to not get pinched... (Do you dump with the engine running or key on or off?)
Now, when we first got the coach, the air dump was slow, but with more use it's gotten much faster, thinking the owner before didn't dump air and the exhaust got plugged and the use, made it work better....

Dump to zero and use the jacks to remove some weight from the fully aired up tires. A technique, not a procedure.
