What happened? You loaded all your "Travel stuff" and thus loaded it down.. likely about 1.5"
This is easier with a car... Measure the bumper height with the car basically empty. Do this at the rear bumper.. Now open the trunk and set 3 or 4 5 gallon pails of water inside (however many you can fit) and measure the bumper height again.. Now remove the buckets .. carefully (you might put only 4 gallons in)

Each gallon is what about 8.6 pounds so 4 times 4 gallons is a bit over 250 pounds.. Now imagine all the stuff you put in the RV.

You may have an intermittently failing leveling valve on that corner (for your air bags). If that is the case, obviously you'd want to get it replaced to resolve the issue. But, in the meantime, dumping air using your jack controller might correct the issue by moving the leveler through some of its stroke, thus getting it to allow air back into the air bag and raise that corner of the coach back up.

I would guess a combination of a few things. An inch and a half isn't that much space. My guess would be your tires were hot and higher psi when you set up camp. After sitting, the lower temp/psi caused your entire rig to sit lower once down off the jacks. If that's the lowest spot, that's where the weight will shift and cause the largest drop. Like another poster said, you could have jacked it up, put a board or 2 under the nearest tire and set it back down. Standard board would buy you the 1-1/2" to drive off it.

Thanks for your response. I would have jacked it up and placed a board under the wheel but am concerned about where to jack. I am not an expert on these rigs and would hate to damage a vital part.
