I also didn't see a significant ride height change, but I'm not sure how much is expected.
How is this supposed to work? I wasn't able to find documentation of the expected behavior in any of the chassis manuals I have.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

The lever was originally intended for use on tractor/trailers so the driver could lower the rear of the semi for backing up under a trailer that was to low, then switched back to auto to lift the trailer landing gear off the ground just makes them easier to crank, I have it on my rv as well and unless there is a reason you want the coach lower to the ground but just remember to inflate the airbags back up before driving off as it will destroy the bags if you drive with them deflated and also is a buzzer to warn you about suspension dump valve in the lower position.
