Ken Burton's technique sounds more like the way the manual describes the procedure. The shop manual does not mention any steps of raising the front end. Also, all the informational videos on YouTube show the wheels on the ground during adjustments. Although the videos were all GMC trucks.

So, being my first time, I am going to err on the safe side. I will set the front ride height with the wheels OFF the ground. Once I'm under the coach I can actually get a better idea of what's going down there and the amount of force actually on the unloader tool. Then after the first test drive, I will fine tune the front height with the wheels ON the ground if I think I can do it safely. I will also try to post the end results with pictures. Scott
