MH Listing to the Left

Went out for a few days and came back and parked the unit in the indoor storage place. Everything was fine up to that point but when I went back a few days later the MH was leaning to one side both front and rear. The only thing I had done differently was the last time I was out I used the air dump to lower the unit to reduce the leveler travel. I don't know if that has something to do with this or not. Not sure how the 06 camelot's are plumbed. Anybody ever experienced this?

When in travel mode the air bags are controlled by 2 ride height valves in the
rear and one in the front this is a tripod effect .
The rear valves are for left to right control .

However when parked the air bag control is turned over to your air leveling system
That is assuming you have air leveling .
On my coach , Windsor , I had a leaking 6 pack leveling unit that I rebuilt with
new o rings and cleaning .
That solved my leaking down .

You have an air leak. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the underside of your coach and it's air suspension system. Then you'll have to use a spray bottle with soapy water and find out what's leaking. You have lots of possibilities. Do you have air leveling?

Mine does the same thing if you leave air in the system. I always dump the air when it's parked up for an extended time.

My coach will hold air in the suspension for a long time--it's been sitting untouched for a week now and it's still level. I've seen it like that for a month or more. Then, for no apparent reason, it'll settle to one side or the other. I replaced the left ride height valve and it sill settles to the left occasionally, but not as often as it used to. Your procedure is probably the easiest way to deal with it as long as it doesn't leak down quickly.

Check that ride height valve with an ohm meter. If it's a HWH valve like mine and close to 16 ohms there is nothing wrong with it.

I don't have air leveling while parked I have hydraulic levelers. I do of course have air suspension and I think the problem is in this area. It is interesting that the problem can come and go as described by barmcd almost like is is a sticking valve somewhere. That would account for the intermittent problem.
Thanks for all of the input! Sounds like the first place I will start is at that rear ride height valve.
