No. It is something that can be added. Here is a thread on dump valves.

It is also possible to dump them by using manual control of the levelers. There are a couple of cautions I will provide after I explain how it can be done with the levelers.

To dump them manually you need to be parked with engine off and then place your leveler panel in the "Manual" mode. Then you lower the rear jacks until they contact the ground. Then with both jacks together raise the rear and you will hear air escaping. After it stops releasing air, raise rear jacks (lower the coach). You may have to repeat this procedure again (maybe even twice more) to release all air from the rear suspension. You should then notice the rear of the coach sitting noticeably lower. At that point you can level the coach via normal means.

Some warnings - Do Not lift the rear tires off the ground. They are your parking brake. If the site is sloped the rig may try to roll if the rear tires off ground. This might place significant lateral pressure on the levelers or try to scoot across the ground.

Second warning - Excessive operation of the leveling system may cause the motor on the leveling system to overheat. A couple of owners have had their motor fail. I can't say specifically that this leveling was the cause, but excessive use of any intermittent duty motor may cause early failure.
