DC air solenoid valve?
I’ve got air leaks under control now but 1 line that comes off the branch in steer compartment that goes to seat-door lock-foot well slide, I put on a 1/4 inch ball valve on that 1 line because there is a couple of leaks in that line some where so I just keep that ball valve off when it is stored then when we get ready to use bus I turn valve on. Why not replace ball valve with an 12 or 24 DC volt electric air solenoid valve and put a toggle switch on side panel, any one know of a valve like that ??

That will work, but it is ignoring the problem. If you fix the leaks you wouldn’t have to do that and they will never get better.
FWIW Art if you are looking for work towards isolating leaks add manifolds with an individual circuit for every pneumatic system function. It is not easy and involves a lot of work, but with every single circuit in the coach coming off a manifold with a shut off valve on every circuit then you can easily identify every circuit that leaks easily. Air up the coach and turn it off, shut every valve off, and in 10 minutes start opening the valves one at a time. The circuits with leaks will reveal themselves by hearing air pass as the valves are opened.
