We are currently set up on our site with the slide out extended for a few weeks. The AC condensate is running off the front passenger side and dripping onto the entree steps.
Can I safely use the auto level to relevel the Motorhome or do I have to retract the slideouts first?
 
I wouldn't because my manual says to level before extending slides, what does yours say?
 
Newmar told me extend slides and then level. Depends how off the level is if I do that. You could use your manual and not auto level to tilt it a little
 
Every rig is different, and some are made so cheaply I cross my fingers and stand on one foot every time I press the slide button. You have to refer to your manufacturer's documentation on whether it should be leveled before or after slides are deployed.

That being said, if it's a small adjustment, I would just do it.

Ours wakes up every so often and re-levels itself with a dedicated 12V compressor, so I have to assume it wouldn't do that if it wasn't supposed to.
 
IF it is a minor adjustment I will put ours in manual and adjust. I have a small level I place on the floor and watch i closely. If I have to do a complete relevel I retract the slide as it only take a short time to do it.

Best to check your manual for proper method.

Word of caution if you do it manually you have to be careful as you could twist the frame and put stress on the windshield and break it. I have seen this happen.
