Until you get it calibrated, a little trick is to lower the high side or end after the system stops.

Got it that y'all think I'm stupid, but there was no manual that came with the RV.
Dealer walk through was basically, "push the button". Never thought that it would be off callibration from the moment I bought it.
I'll Duck Duck Go first before asking on this forum in the future.
Ramona,

Hope you have not left the forum yet. Everyone was a newbie once. Do not let the comments of a few run you off.

As for your system, I believe that someone above has posted the information. All auto leveling systems programmable for leveling. Each manufacturer of the system has a procedure that basically has you manually level the coach using a level, then set those as your standard. I personally like mine a bit front lifted and to passenger side due to drainage from roof. But everyone is a bit different.

For your benefit, when asking a question, please give as much information as possible about the unit, manufacturer, model, component, etc. as possible and the good folks will chime in to help you. There are a lot of folks on here that can and will assist you.

Good Luck!

Sorry the OP thinks people are beating up on him/her. Seems too many people come on here asking questions that are answered in their owners manual if they would only look. I find it hard to believe that a Newmar dealer would let you drive away without the manuals that shipped with your coach. Every motorhome I've ever been in has a foot thick folder containing manuals for everything on board, go back and demand it.

I suggested hours of reading manuals, not just one. Perhaps there are none with everything being available online. This is great until you experience a problem where internet access is not available. You now have 2 problems.

I am most familiar with HWH leveling systems. When auto leveling, the system detects the highest point. It will be one wheel, either front or rear. That jack will deploy and when it touches down it may lift the coach a small amount. It then brings the other 3 corners level to that point. Because the highest point is raised a bit from the get go, the coach ends up being a little higher than necessary to be level. Manually leveling the coach can result in an overall lower position. Just be sure to follow the leveling procedure recommended by the manufacturer to avoid potential damage to the coach.

I would recommend that you obtain manuals for the coach and all its systems from the dealer and schedule a time with them to spend a few hours to do a thorough walk through.

Oh, I got a lot of manuals with the coach and believe it or not I have read almost every page in that entire satchel. But there was no manual for the Leveling System.
I should have checked online first—I have gotten passively used to the idea that there is no manual because of my experience with modern software.
