On the way back home for the Shawnee rally, I stopped for some coffee and a gas station. As I was walking back to the coach I noticed that the coach was not sitting level. I measured the right rear height and it was 1 and 5/8" too high while and left side was .75" too low.
At first I could not figure out what had happened because we just measured those heights a few days when we were weighing coaches at the rally. Then it occurred to me. We had been traveling for hours eastbound with a cross wind of 20 to 25 mph out of the north. The leveling sensors had sensed the tilt of the coach from cross wind pushing sideways and adjusted the ride height to compensate. Upon arriving home and traveling over 100 miles northbound in much lower wind conditions, I found that the sensors had re-leveled the coach. I will measure them again after I park it inside on flat concrete in my hangar. I expect the static ride heights to be correct again.
