Aux air leaks?
Question for you Jon if you would not mind. When I 1st got the bus it had lots of air leaks everywhere,and a bad case of the leans,and driving it dryer purged every 5 min, so now 4 years later after replacing air bags-Norgren valves-leveling valves-compression fittings-tank check valves-unloader valves and more it holds air perfect in summer but in winter aux pressure will slowly loose air.Driving now all 3 gauges hold steady . I thought I heard you say at one point that you put in some valves for testing, so you can turn off aux devices like air slides-seat air? if so what kind of valves. I did put on a 1/4 inch ball valve on foot well slide before I rebuilt air ram.

Art,
Two points. First, I used 1/4 or 3/8 quarter turn ball valves. The smaller ones on the two Prevost air manifolds, and the large ones on a manifold I bought to replace the one installed by Liberty. I do not think the brand is important.
As to leaks, a leak free coach in warm temps can tend to leak badly as temps drop, and after exhausting many tens of hours making 2 coaches leak free I realized as temps dropped I was back chasing leaks, a practice I no longer employ. Life is too short to try to make the hundreds of potential leaks go away.

Very clean job Jon, I don’t have that much coming off my aux system, to level valves-foot well slide-door lock-tag lift-driver seat-air horn
