Raising coach

Alright, since I have never had a need to fully raised the coach and put it up on safety stands I wanted to ask those familiar with the correct process for raising the coach to maximum height before installing stands for some info. so I get it right.

I have the coach running so have maximum air pressure and then hit the power button on the hwh panel 1 time and then push and hold the raise up button until the coach is all the way up and then turn off the engine and then turn off the hwh panel

Ron,
Does this raise the front and rear at the same time.
Thanks,

On mine the front raises much faster than the rear. I just hold the raise button for a long time then go check if the safety stand will fit in the rear. If not go back and hold the raise button some more. Rinse and repeat.

The front raises faster than the rear because the air pressure at travel height in the rear is circa 75psi but only 45 psi in the front. Some folks believe that the pressure regulator for the front airbags (set at 60psi) will cause the front and rear bags to raise at the same rate - it does not work on my coach, the front always raises faster than the rear.

Do safety stands come with a coach or do you make your own? What do they look like, could someone post a picture? How & where do they install (picture?) I have wanted to go under my coach to check things, but don't want to trust the air bags with my life...

You have to make or buy your own.
Look at this thread for some ideas.

Jerry I am not sure if we will be at the grandvention. I want to go, but Nancy is not so sure she wants to go, so will have to work this out.
