Yukon Denali as TV

Good afternooon,
recently upgraded our TV to a GMC Yukon Denali. It has the auto-leveling suspension in the rear. So far I have not found a way to turn it off, short of pulling a fuse.

My question is with a WDH how much does the auto leveling mess up the WDH set up?
When i hook up i have the vehicle off. set the bars on the WDH and make sure all is good. Turn the Denali on and it levels the back out. I've made one 400 mile round trip with it and no major issues. Just wondering if the auto level is something I need to worry about. Trailer is in signature.


thanks,
Josh

The auto leveling isn't a bad thing as long as you get your hitch set up properly first. The purpose of the weight distributing hitch is to return weight to your front steer axle, that was lost when the trailer was hitched on. The rear end squat is normal, and contrary to popular belief, the hitch's main purpose is not to reduce rear end squat.

It sounds like you have done the process correctly; set up the hitch first and then let the air bags inflate to level you out. It's the same as people that have added aftermarket airbags.
