We had our 3160RL with the door side wheels of the ground for a week with no problems. We were camped with that side on dirt (with pads under the levelers) and the other side on the gravel pad. Level-Up is awesome. I don't think we'll ever have another rig with out it!

Have done it many times and it is well within the rated capacity of the hydraulic cylinders. Would like to know discrete reasons why it should not be done. Does it specify not to do it in the manual. We were on one site and the passenger side tires on the rig were at least four inches off the ground for five days without a problem.

Push the auto level and let it do its thing. Sometimes wheels up and sometimes not. Never a problem.
