I’ll look into the motorhome controls.
Over 90 percent of those diesel pusher motorhomes have air suspension. What you hear are the air bags deflating. Then the hydraulic jacks kick in and level the motorhome. There is air leveling but not to common.

Those hydraulic level systems are expensive, are bulky and can be complicated. They only control deflating and inflating the air bags.

Someone has suggested a 'Class C' set up. That would probably be the best and most inexpensive way to go.

I have one of those monster coaches you mentioned. Not from personal experience, but from being on multiple RV forums the electrical leveling jacks seem to have more problems then the hydraulic systems. So do lots of research.

You might want starting your research at RV.net Class C forum
