My coach has the HWH leveling system; I use the 4 arrows up button to raise the entire coach when I know I am going to scrape. Newell has installed skid plates that are welded on the front and the back of my coach. I have never scraped in the front but have scraped in the back many times. Raising the coach about 4" helps some but most of the time it will scrape. The skid plates protect the muffler and other stuff in the back.

I always figured that my coach scraped because it was a rear bath model. I guess only Newell could answer that question.

I thought that the "over ride" switch was for a sudden loss of air pressure in the brake tanks. Pressing and holding the over ride switch would allow the coach to get over to the side of the road.
