Has anyone ever checked there ride height on their coach what are the measurements and where do you measure from. I hear about changing ride height values but never about checking height after.
I check mine quite often. 8.5 in. Including mounting plates.
How much did Snap On charge you for that?
Does ride height need to be checked while the coach is on level ground and are the ride height valves supposed to be in the middle of the swing never have found a discussion on this
Thanks Mike

Doesn't necessarily need to be on level ground but it needs to be on a flat surface (the wheels need to be on the same plane) such as a asphalt parking lot.
Not sure that is true-- have never tested it.
I would err on the side of "we know it works" and check ride height on a level surface.
My concern would be side to side weight transfer that may effect ride height measurement if not level.
Start by checking the rears (one on each side)-- they can be checked and adjusted without crawling under the coach.
Then, with proper safety stands in place, check the front. The front ride height valve is at the center of the front axle. You will be "averaging side to side"= one side may be slightly higher than specs while the other is slightly lower than specs.
If a significant difference side to side in front, you can make minor adjustments at the rear to transfer weight in the front. Plus 1/8" on one side, minus 1/8" on the other.
I would not think that the weight would matter as the valve linkage position will cause the valve to add or release air as needed to keep the valve at the neutral or closed position.
