Leveling

We went for simplicity(in other words out of budget)  I have 10x10 x1 1/2 inch blocks that stack like Lego's that we place under the buses jacking points.  When we arrive at our destination we park, place the blocks and drop the suspension via 3 valves we had installed while changing the bags. When we leave the site, we air up the bus, drive forward, pick up the blocks and go home. Takes all of 2 mins to install, and less to remove. Bus is stable and solid while parked.

I figure it this way-there's a good reason the engineers used 3 leveling valves on the original design. I would keep with that design.
I have three leveling valves with manual over ride. I haven't ever had the need for four. Good Luck, TomC

Ok. Makes sense, but has anyone twisted their coach permanently and caused issues? The triangle design works, but when I jack up one side under the jack point, it just lifts the other side anyway which if not supported seems to me to encourage the coach to want to twist anyway??

Nope haven't twisted ours and we have 4 corner air leveling. If it is ever needed we also carry the yellow stackables. Coach doesn't bounce or move all over. I can add or reduce air to all corners or just one at a time. Bags stay up and don't lose any air. I just reset to 90 PSI in the front and 80 in the rear when driving. I can adjust if needed on crazy turns but haven't had to. The coach does not bend in half or sag in the middle. The front door does not stick closed. Simple system. Sure would love to have the hydraulic system with 4 legs but to much money for this cowboy to put out...

The 3 point leveling system on a bus was for driving the 3 point system will adjust faster when traveling, there is no way it will twist the bus or Prevost,MCI,VanHool would not have used a system design by their engineers on the motor home chassis

Lol even Eagle gave it a try with the 4 corner air bag leveling on their motor home chassis that didn't work out too good

best money I spent ......on my 4 corner leveling system easy peasy to use with zero problems in 10 years

no air leaks on the air bags at all

4 push / pull air valves with air gauges .... that's it

They tried the 3 point leveling system on Rv's with slides for a few years that didn't work and gave slides a bad rap

   Huggys air leveling system was made by Red Rideout i think.  It has a road and park relay. on the road it uses the standard valves.

When parked you can add or release air from either end. You can also use the park side on the road.

Had my steering cutting to sharp and rubbed a rear-front bag and it blew going down the road.

used the hydraulic jack to raise that side and place a block to level the coach and put it on park and leveled the it up
and away home we went. rode a little rough but not stuck by the side of the road.

Also used the hydraulic jack to jack it up and replace the air bag,beats carrying around all the jacks.

Kyle  I always us them at Palmetto cove.  Where we park I can drop the front down on the stops and keep the back high so my shor legged boss can get in and out.

Just wonder if I will have the same parking buddy now that he is a NEWELL owner.  He might park over on the high dollar side.  LOL

I'm gonna want 50A electrical service, so, if a spot is available on the high dollar side, that is where I'm gonna be. 
Hopefully we'll still be within walking distance!
