Leveling and Full Wall Slideout Sequence of Operation
This article provides step-by-step instructions for leveling the coach and operating the slideouts.
In the past, Newmar has recommended leveling the
coach prior to deploying the slideouts. As of 2015,
Newmar makes the following recommendation for the
extension and retracting of slideouts.
IMPORTANT
!
Extending The Slideouts and
Leveling The Coach
1. Park the coach on a reasonably level campsite.
2. Leave the coach at ride-height with air in the air
bags (if equipped with air suspension) or on normal
suspension (coaches without air suspension).
3. Plug the coach into shore power (if available) or
start the generator to increase the voltage for better
slideout operation.
4. Look at the “reveal” or “gap” of the two vertical
wall trims around the slideouts to make sure there
is plenty of clearance so the trim will not rub when
extending the slideout. If the gap looks good, then
the slideout can be operated.
•
Note: Most often the gap will look best when
sitting on the tires with the air suspension inflated
(at ride-height), and not on the jacks.
Motorhomes, like all vehicles, flex in travel. Flexing may be
di
ff
erent due to terrain and the coach’s fulcrums (resting on
tires or jacks). As the coach flexes, this movement is more
noticeable in the outside reveal on a wider slideout.
In the unlikely occasion that the slideout trim has
inadequate clearances, try leveling or repositioning
the coach and rechecking the clearances before
extending the slideout.
IMPORTANT
!
5. Verify that the path of the slideout is unobstructed
and free from any surrounding objects, both inside
and outside of the coach.
6. Once the appropriate conditions are met, follow the
operating instructions posted in your coach to extend
the slideouts.
7. Dump the air suspension (if equipped). This step
is included in the auto-leveling process for most
coaches.
8. Deploy the leveling jacks.
1.
Retract the leveling jacks.
2.
Start the coach.
3.
Allow the coach air
suspension to fill and
return to ride height (units
without air suspension
will return to normal
suspension).
4.
Turn the engine o
ff
.
5.
For a full wall slideout,
visually inspect the front
vertical trim for adequate
clearance. The spacing
should look even from top
to bottom (see image for
reference).
Retracting The Jacks and
Slideouts
In the unlikely occasion that the slideout trim has
inadequate clearances, try leveling or repositioning
the coach and rechecking the clearances before
retracting the slideout.
IMPORTANT
!
Debris left on the roof or topper may prevent the
slideout from sealing properly when retracted,
as well as prevent the mechanical lock arms from
closing properly when the slideout is extended.
IMPORTANT
!
6.
Verify that the path of the slideout is unobstructed and
free from any surrounding objects, both inside and
outside of the coach. This includes any water or debris
that may have collected on the slideout roof or the
topper awning.
7.
Retract the slideouts. Inspect all slideouts for complete
retraction.
8.
If the coach is equipped with manual lock arms, make
sure to lock them.
9.
Unplug the coach from shore power when you are
ready to depart.
