Can someone explain what these 2 items are ?
#1

   
This is located in the 3rd bay back mounted up on the top I beleive it has something to do with the hwh system. Can this cause my bus to sometimes lean to the left when airring up ??

Ang what do these do. ? I noticed there is a buddy plug on the rear of the bus, but why would they have 2 30 amp recepticals in this location. I have not been able to track down where the one plug goes to yet. Thanks

The first one is your level sensor, it tells the HWH system when the coach is level. Don't adjust it without understanding how it works. There is no air going through this. It is only an electrical sensor. Your leaning problem is probably somewhere else. Did you buy a solenoid rebuild kit from Tom?
Not sure why you have 2 30 amp buddy plugs, most Newells have 1 50 amp buddy plug. But no 2 Newells are alike. Maybe the original owner specified that? Or a previous owner changed it to work better for his situation?

Good to know about the HWH sensor. I noticed that in the bay the other day. 

As far as the electrical plugs, they are for the inverter. From what I understand, it allows you to bypass the inverter if there is an issue in the inverter and it’s not passing power. Mine are labeled inverter and shore I believe. 
I just happened to be reading a thread the other day when Richard explained the function of these plugs.

That is correct about your understanding of the inverter bypass setup.  Newell engineers really was thinking with that set up.

I can confirm the twin 30a receptacles are inverter bypass.

Yes sir I did buy the rebuild kits from Tom. Everything has been working pretty well except I have noticed the left side is not raising as fast as the right, so I get a lean for a bit then it settles itself out. We had replaced all leveling valves a few months age and had the exact same air pressure at the supply line. And also thank you for that info on the hwh system electrical leveling sensor,. I researched it and see it has nothing to do with air system only manual leveling.

As always thank you guys again for all the help. !!

Left side is slower because the slides make that side of the coach heavier. Mine does the same.

and the rear goes up much slower than the front as well.
