Leveling 2001 Marquis Emerald
« on: December 01, 2015, 02:15:40 AM »
The driver side air bags are lower than the passenger side, does anyone know  of a way to adjust this problem?  Would  appreciate any help that anyone could give me. Trying too get ready for trip to Florida, going try to get up with the Nandy guy see if he can  change my leveler over to manual system. Read about him on forum, hope to get things fixed get ready for my first rally trip to Quartzsite Az  with headed by Gerald Farris and Glenda. Thanks Joe and Jackie  Westbrook.

Joe,
I'm assuming the coach is sitting low on the left side when at ride height but is level when you level it for camping. If correct, the problem is probably the air bag adjustment on the rear driver's side. There are 3 air valve controls; 1 in front center and one each at the rear axle (passenger and driver side). They control the inflation of the bags at ride height. Sounds like either the dvrs side is low or the pass side is high. Adjustment is relatively simple but can be dangerous as a mistake can cause the chassis to drop swiftly.

If you still have the problem in Quartzsite, look me up and I can probably adjust it for you.

Joe, I had a similar issue on my coach.  I noticed that after sitting for a few days the Stbd side would be higher than the port side.  even after airing up it stayed uneven.  I thought it was the air bags.  Turned out that one of the SMC leveling jacks had slipped down a little bit without me knowing it.  So one side was always higher.  It didn't show up because of a bad light on the manual control panel.  Easy fix, I just raised all the jacks and problem fixed.  I was way more of a newbie then than I am now!  If you are having issues with your hydraulic leveling, maybe your issue may be similar.  I don't know how you would raise it if system not working.  Good luck.
