Like Tony stated, leveling your fifth wheel side to side with leveling blocks beneath the low side wheels prior to auto leveling is of great importance as well.
EDIT: I use these to level our fifth wheel side to side, but blocks, pads or various thickness boards can be used.
Lee has got it right but not complete. if your slide is extended, before you retract it, hold the extend button for five second to sync Motors. You will notice that the slide has creeped in a bit while you were sitting. Retract slide and hold for 5 seconds. If slide is retracted, before extending, hold retract button for 5 seconds to sync. Again you will notice your slide has crept out a little. Extend slide and hold for 5 seconds. This system has never let me down. Second coach with Schwintek slides.
