Do you guys level before or after slide outs are out? The reason I ask is I have been leveling before slide outs are out which I would think you should do.
However, it seems like after slideouts are out it seems to lean to the left somewhat. There are 2 slideouts on left side, and only 1 on the right side.
Should I just try and compensate for the lean prior while leveling?
I have always leveled before the slides go out. The unit I had before my Winnie had a fully body slide. I would level then bump the left side just a little to make things right when the slide went out. I am not sure if that's the right way or not but it worked for me.

Worse than that, it isn't consistent within any mfg - depending on the year and the model in question.
Ultimately it doesn't matter what any of us do, it really only matters what you're manual says. If you don't have the manual for your RV try finding it on the internet so you can find out what it says.
Per our manual, we level first and then extend slides. Consider some jack and/or tire pads to give you a bigger 'footprint' to help with settling. You can also manually 'bump' the left levelers to regain level - and then see what happens.
Our FWS will occ. cause some settling - usually indicated by the jack pad being depressed into the ground a bit.

That is as good an answer as can be given, check the manual.
The specific manual for the 2017 Vista models says to level first (page 10-2)

(RVM-14) It is what it is, and then it is what you make of it.
My procedure is to level, then extend, thinking that it reduces any lever-arm strain on the otherwise extended slide room from the actions of the auto levelers.
My understanding is that the only reason to do any "fine-tuning" type of leveling is to not interfere with the operation of your fridge. I also am given to understand that most modern RV fridges are much less sensitive to the problems of not level. So if your fridge is reasonably new, you shouldn't need to worry too much about it.
