Not exactly level

Our coach doesn't do the best job of leveling itself.  It always leans to the drivers side a little bit, causing the toilet door to swing open rather than stay in place.  Even the two bathroom roller doors will roll all the way open rather than stay put.

Is there some way to calibrate the system?

Page 11 has the sensing unit adjustment instructions.  In a 2003 it is a paddle-mounted circuit board inside one of the "tackle boxes" in the basement.

(ETA- note that you want a very, very slight bias rear low so the air conditioner condensate drains towards the back of the coach, especially if you have the drain kits installed)

Also,I run both roadsides a little down to help with the black/grey water drains. I like this unit:  ^.^d

Thanks everyone.  We found the controller box and the adjustment screw.  Ours (03 U320 38ft) is in the drivers side bay behind the drivers seat (same bay as the power inverter). We are reviewing the info in the manual and seeing if we can make sense of it.

Got is sorted out, thanks to you guys!  Much appreciated, you are all so helpful.  ^.^d  ^.^d

It feels so much better to be level and have the doors stay put.  It's something that has bugged me since we bought the coach, but was well down on the list of things to fix.

HWH leveling has a wide margin of error  to keep system from hunting between side and front, so many after leveling with HWH bring out their 4-leg RV Level and touch up with manual button on HWH panel.  We always use this system.
