my coach height on the passenger side is about 21" measureing in the rear from ground to top of the crossmember behind the rear bumper. the driver side is an inch shorter. i want to raise the driver side but the leveling valve wont lift the coach any higher. i ve adjusted the bolt on the leveling valve to no avail. i disconnected the travel arm and it seems to work properly. is my option to get a new leveling valve(where) ar put a longer than 5 inch connecting arm?

thanx chris 75gb

The maintenance manual gives a measurement from an elongated slot in the
rear frame to the ground. You should not need a new connecting arm to
achieve the correct ride height.

I'm not sure if anyone has this page posted on the web anywhere, but if you
need it, I can fax or mail it to you. The entire manual is available from
Cinnabar and is a very useful reference.

The valve is adjusted by turning it on its mounting points. It isn't a very
scientific way of doing it. Moving the valve just a little makes a big
difference. I'd first make sure that the passenger side isn't too high. Also
note that incorrect rear ride height will cause front alignment problems
too.

I'll walk out to our coach, get the books and get that page marked if
someone else doesn't answer with more information.
