When I purchased my coach in 2001 I noticed that it was leaning to the passengers side. I took it to a Ford Super Duty dealership and they checked the entire suspension system. They finally told me that the problem was por weight distribution. I have not had any significant trouble with the coach leaning but my wife and I have decided to keep the motorhome so I have just completed installing the Ride-Rite airbags front and rear. It does level the coach. Will be seeing if the air bags fix the problem over time.

I have seen some coachmakers add a spacer on the tank side of the chassis in the rear leafs to help off set water weight,so may not be anything wrong with your coach any way, the air springs can only help with the ride and handling, less leaning on turns.

JVG, Welcome to irv2 also.
I placed air-bags all wheel locations on a Mountain Aire I had raised coach 3" all around more stable and better control. Had air compressor with control valves.
My coach leaned passenger side had refer,batteries,Gen,kitchen to make it that way.
Enjoy the forums and do post often.
When you get a chance, you should get the four wheel positions weighed, either by RVSEF or some state highway patrol offices will do it, or if you can find a CAT scale with wide shoulders,first weigh the total, then one side and deduct that amount from the total to give you the opposite side... just to make sure you are not exceeding tire capacities.
