What is the purpose for letting the air out of your air bags and then lowering the jacks,why cant you leave the bags inflated and just level that way

Dumping the air , brings the coach lower to the ground and allows the levelers more travel to get their job done. In most sites makes the bottom step a lot shorter.
No harm in not dumping in a level site ; do it often if only staying a night or two. Less time required in the morning for building air pressure.

In addition, if you just leave it sit on the bags the RV will move about when you walk in it or if the wind blows much more than when sitting hard down on the leveling jacks.

Ok Kirk thanks,I see what your saying,the frame is stable because of the jacks,the coach is unstable because it still setting on the air bags,once you let out the air the coach sits on the frame and there both stable

Thanks for clearing that up everyone,can't believe I missed that
