Auto Level And Slides
I have a Solitude 310GK and wonder if I can auto level when the slides are out?

Not a fan of doing that. Slides are heavy, hanging out like a lever while you are adjusting weight via jacks on the frame isn't a good idea. The more out of level you are, the more potential issues you are skirting up against.
Is the unit engineered to handle that? I don't know, I just know I wouldn't do it.

Same here, I auto level and then slide the slides.
Hard to put on the xchocks with the slides out.2018 Reflection 303RLS

Thanks for the responses. I figured it wasn't a good idea but I thought I ask.
I'm in my driveway with the slides out and wanted to place something under the jacks and then auto level again. I thought I could save time without having to put slides in first but I will just to be safe.Allen & Denise

Hearing that, I will mention that I have to pull out into my driveway to load up. I don't actually level the coach all the way as the driveway is sloped...but I do put the jacks down for stability. I will always at least ground the jacks, even when connected to the truck any time I run the slides.

Agree that I would not hit auto level with slides out. I also wanted to add that I don't extend slides without being level first.
