Leveling System

Yahoo Message Number: 72056
We have 2005 Allure and our leveling system isn't working. We can hear the pump call for air, but nothing happens. Can we still operate the coach w/o the leveling system as long as we stay on level sites? Our first post, so your help is appreciated.

I don't see why not as long as your travel mode works when going down the road. The correct travel mode height is important, especially to keep the driveshaft at the correct angle. When you're parked, you'll want to keep the coach level to avoid damage to your refrigerator..

Sue...

If the coach goes in to "travel" mode with the engine running, it will be OK to drive it... And, if it goes into travel mode, it should also level the coach if you "level" with the engine running... The small auxiliary air compressor will maintain level once the coach is leveled, but is not designed to level the coach from scratch...

I've got a 1990 Sedona 36' #4704 but my level systmem always says not in park. Any ideals on this one?

We might need a little more info; 1.) Is it a HWH system and 2.) does it have air brakes 3.) any auxillary brakes - like parking, etc. I will double check my system, but i believe there is a wire from the air brake switch to the HWH which transmits that the unit is in park when activated. I will check tomorrow when I'm there,

This is something I always wondered about. Is the engine/drive-train mounted to the chassis or to the body? It would seem that if it was mounted to the chassis, then the airbags would have no affect on the drive-shaft angle. If it was mounted to the body, then I could see how the angle would change.

A name would be helpful,

You are thinking about the relationship between axles, chassis and house wrong. Keep in mind that not only is the drive train, engine and transmission solidly mounted to the chassis. So is the house. The only thing not suspended by the air bags are the axles and attaching hardware.

I hope I explained that okay.

Well, isn't the drive shaft connected to the stationary axle from the tranny? And, isn't the tranny connected to the chassis which moves up and down with air leveling. Not sure I have all the terminalogy right, but something like that.

Thanks for the reply. That does make sense. I was picturing the air bags on top of the chassis when in fact they are underneath the chassis.
