Like you I'm curious as to why one motorhome didn't lift off the ground and the other did; assuming it's not due to the leveling system not working correctly on auto. Hopefully manual leveling as suggested by others will take care of it.


I was thinking of differences between motorhomes that may also contribute to differences in leveling beyond the leveling system itself. One would be that if the Thor naturally inclines down slightly at front on level road, then it would need to lift the front more to get it level. Perhaps your previous motorhome naturally inclined the other way slightly, requiring the back to lift higher. An inch or two each over 40 feet could almost go unnoticed unless it's measured.

Another possible difference between motorhomes may be if one has air suspension and or more wheel travel versus one with stiffer leaf springs. Is it possible that motorhomes with air suspension drop down (kneel) before leveling so highest corner starts out as low as possible; thereby reducing chance of any wheel coming off ground?

My experience is fairly limited with RVs (only done manual leveling with hand-operated jacks on trailers or with ramps under MH tires), but can see that a lot of variables can be involved.
