Valid parking level

[Butte64]

How does the Valid leveling for parking compare with the jacks? With the jacks the auto level almost always results with the steps higher than necessary.
Is there a park mode with the Valid that brings it lower than ride height?
If jacks are put down for greater stability after air leveling do the jacks automatically conform to the air leveling or push the coach higher?

So far, on my 2020 Anthem, I have only used the Valid air leveling. The jacks have never been down yet. For us, the air leveling is better and there is very little rocking motion on air.

Unlike the jacks, the air will decrease in a high spot to level, rather than always going up to level. If your steps are too high, you can lower the entire coach by about 2" to get the steps closer to the ground. All while staying level. We have not used that function, but it is available.

I'd never go back to not air leveling...

One other thing...since there is a auxiliary compressor, the system wakes up and relevels periodically, if needed. No input required

Dr Q, any noise on the Valid compressor? The 19 had a different system that I had add an extension hose to the exhaust to quite it down. Not a big deal, just wonder if it's needed on the Valid. I am looking forward to the new system. I liked the old one and this is said to be better.

Chuck, I haven’t heard any objectionable noise out of mine. Nothing like what people were talking about on the 2019s.

Chuck, I agree with Rollin101....the noise from the aux compressor is not very noticeable. We hear it once in a while, but it is short lived and not loud at all.

I never had the Hadley system, as I had a classic 2012 before the 2020, so i idon'thave anything to compare it to. I think you will find it acceptable on your new '21.
