    I am at 9200 feet in Ward Co above Boulder. Went to put out slides and got no air. Aux gauge said 112 light on switch started to flash no reaction from pins etc. Went into mid bay and found no air indicated on gauge. Turned valve and it started to rise it went over 60 and then something popped. Now it appears that there is a leak in the mid bay on the outside wall. When I try to air up the aux air it takes awhile to get to 60 plus put the drivers seat does not air up. I checked the gauges in the front left door area and the 2 are at 0. If I could find the leak I feel I can fix it but it appears to be in the wall but that doesn’t make sense. I am here for my sons wedding on Saturday and then we have to go down the mountain to get home, need help. If anyone knows of a shop in Boulder that I can call on it would be appreciated. We have no cell service and I am told that this wifi is a radio beam or something. To respond I have to drive to my sons house and sign on, we don’t even get a satelite signal at the bus. Thanks for any suggestions. Bill

    try to turn off the converter valve in the run bay under the drivers seat. It sounds like the slides are in, Doris it air up enough to drive? When you shut the engine off and the key on, what do the air gauges do at the dash?

    I am sure you have checked, but is the coach in neutral with the park brake set and in ride height mode?

    This is a AUX water seperator located in the drivers bay on Marathon. This is also a must seal valve. Loss of AUX air will release the internal valve.

    The AUX compressor must be running then holding your finger on drain hose to close the valve inside the canister.

    AUX air will not build until this valve seals. I’am not sure about CC AUX air set up but I’am posting trying to help.

    No one in the immediate vicinity would come out to check my air leak. After much searching I got SUmmit Mobile Service, SIlverthorne, CO 970-389-3915 to send a mechanic 90 miles. He caped off the line to the slides and the and the leak stopped. Scott Bennett from Tradewinds was most helpful in isolating the problem and we traded several phone calls at this point we believe the leak is in the membrane. Thanks to those that offered suggestions.
