Almost 5000 miles on this thing with really no complaints. For the price it is pretty dang nice.

I have noticed it seems to lean towards the left. The entire left side is one big slide. I can’t imagine this is normal? Is it possible I only look at it when it’s parked on a slope? Is this in my head? Is it something the dealer can/should fix?

Measure the distance between the fender wells and the tire on each side maybe? Mine has rubber "bumpers" in each corner above the axles. If yours has those measure there to see if the gap is the same. If it's the same then either it's correct or something not mounted correctly above there. That should rule out suspension stuff though. Others I'm sure will comment and add more. Really good guys hang out on this web site.

I also had a left lean on the drivers side of our 2019 35K. Took it to Decatur for several other problems, including the lean. They put in a spacer on the left rear of the chassis. This was done by Ford mechanics.

I had a 2016 bounder that leaned over to the drivers side. No problems, drove fine, tires wore fine. I never did anything about it, and traded that coach in on another Fleetwood. Our current Fleetwood doesn't have a lean.

I had a lean on my 2012 HR Vacationeer because of the added weight of the full wall slide out. Took it a local truck suspension specialist and he added an extra leaf on the rear to compensate for the extra load on that side.

Since this is a new unit, I would contact the dealer, explain the issue and see how they want to resolve it. Most likely they will send you to a heavy duty truck repair center that handles the Ford truck chassis. Adding a leaf like one person mentioned is how we leveled a new custom made bomb truck we bought years ago.
