HWH Air Leveling and more

Yahoo Message Number: 35011
I have just purchased a 2006 Inspire and brought it home yesterday. I want to thank all the folks who steered me away from a 2004 Inspire that I was considering. So now the questions start:
When I parked the rig on a virtually level spot (the same spot where I parked my other rig) and had it auto level, I notice that it appears and feels like it is low on the driver's side. I realize I can manually level but with all the amber lights out the display is telling me the rig is level. Is there some kind of level (bubble or otherwise) that can be adjusted?

The batwing antenna does not lay flat on the roof. Is there some kind of adjustment there?

The backup monitor display blacks out. If I turn it off and wait a while it comes back on, then blacks out. Any wiring I can troubleshoot?
The above list are things that I didn't notice or realize until driving the rig home and the selling dealer is 2+ hours away. If there are things I can troubleshoot first I would love to try.
I took my Silverleaf VMS EL200 off my old rig. Is there a diagnostic plug under the dash area? I know there are two diagnostic plugs in one of the rear bays but am hoping there is also one up front.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm sure this groups will be flooded with my questions!

Judy:
On my 2005 Inspire, the diagnostic plugs are located in the driver's console and accessible through a panel with four button-covered -Phillips head screws.
When the coach is level, the green light in the center of my HWH panel is on.
My camera exhibited similar behavior due to a loose plug at the back of the dash-mounted monitor. Access is attained by again removing four button-covered Phillips head screws on the dash and swinging the faux-leather back of the dash toward the windshield.

Judy, I don't know if your coach has the same type of level sensor as mine (97 Affinity) but on mine all I would do is manually adjust the coach to level and then adjust the sensor to get the lights to reflect the level condition. done. It looks like a round disk with adjustment screws on it.

Judy, I have an 03 Intrigue with HWH air leveling. The procedure for adjusting the leveling system is in the owners manual. I did not get this manual when I purchased the coach, but I did get a copy from HWH. I can try to email you a copy if you like.

Rich, where might I find the sensor? Thanks to all for your replies.
Regarding the leveling, I have the manual, videotaped the walkthru, but the problem is the coach is still a little off level. I did the reset, dumped the air and auto leveled again but it is still off slightly so I assumed there must be some kind of sensor somewhere. I know I can adjust manually but it should still get level on auto.
I am on my way out to the coach now to check into a loose connection in the back for the back up monitor.

I got up on the roof of the coach and did find out the batwing antenna is not supposed to get flush with the roof when down.
So, another problem has cropped up (isn't learning fun!): I attempted to open the carefree power patio awning this morning and it tries to go out a couple of inches then stops. It will retract. I tried the switch on the awning, the control panel inside with various settings, the remote and the same thing happens. They did work on it at the shop and it worked fine when tested. When looking at the coach we noticed only one side of the awning wanted to unfurl, the back, then the front caught up, but that was fixed.
Again, thanks to all for your support and understanding, a newbie CC owner but a fulltime RV'er for 10 years.

Judy, On mine it is on the top of, or cieling of the main electrical bay. I'm not sure about yours thou I would expect to find it in a simular place. It would go back to the same level condition every time if it is not set right.
