    Relevel - Slides Out OK?

    Can I Relevel with slides out? Is the process different from the initial level? Do I need to reconnect to the TV to Relevel?

    Yes, even with the slides out. No different just select "Auto Level". No you don't have to hook back up to your TV.
    We relevel sometimes from where the RV is setting because the leveling jacks can sink into the ground a little. We just select "Auto Level" again and the system analyzes how level it is and then adjusts which ever leveling jack it needs to bring it back level. We have an electric leveling system and the display will show the "Tilt" and "Angle" and if its off more than a couple points, we relevel. Your hydraulic system should be no different.

    I'll "bump" a degree or two manually with the slides out. If I'm going to do the entire auto-level cycle, I pull the slides in. I just don't want any flexing to damage anything.

    I don't believe that Auto-leveling whle attached to the tow vehicle is a good idea. You can do some pretty significant damage to the hitch and/or king pin.......and, as always......what Rob says.

    Agree with this. Sometimes if the site is firm ground and already pretty level, I'll manually level just to keep the stroke of the jacks as short as possible for improved stability. Safe Travels.

    Don’t want to go down a rabbit hole, but…. my only choices on my control are Hitch Height, Retract All, and Auto Level. Got 2 other buttons that are Up Arrow and a Down Arrow (Believe those are only for landing gear.). Is there another panel somewhere for doing all the “manual” adjustments?

    I should have noted that my rig is 7 years old and things are a bit different on the newer ones. My Solitude has a single control located outside in the convenience center. It controls Front/Rear/Right/Left as well as a numerical indicator for level with 0 indicating level. I'm really not familiar with the newer systems. Safe Travels.
