slowly recovering from covid i have WAY more mental than physical energy.

So I got thinking about a way to automatically level the coach.

I'm thinking a plumb bob hanging between four contacts that completes the path to ground for solenoids to release air on the front side and solenoids to add air to the bags on the aft side.

When the plumb (or the bob?) is centered it makes no contact and the coach is level (assuming you get the front wheels pretty close).

The whole thing could go in a bit of PVC pipe and the length would determine the sensitivity.

Seems simple, i can't be the first person to think of this.
