  • SLOW loss of hight

    Posted by Chuck & Katrina on November 27, 2019 at 7:58 am

    Over approx a 2 week time frame of not being used my coach will lose the air in the bags and settle on its stops. I haven’t bothered to measure the corners, but visually the coach seams to settle evenly (all four corners go down equally). Any thoughts on what might be a starting point to look for this air lose considering ALL the bags are SLOWLY losing air?

    I know Jon suggested exercising the level low system on another post. Would that be a starting place?

    Chuck, first understand every coach begins to leak as it ages. I do not know the status of your complex pneumatic system, but it is safe to say over time we have to replace air bags, Norgren valves, push in fittings, etc.

    I learned with my first coach I could chase and fix leaks as I became aware of them, or I could just bite the bullet and stop wasting hours searching for leaks. So I just arbitrarily set a number of years of life for various components or systems and I just replace them.

    If your coach has had recent air bag, valve and fitting replacements it will be practical to chase what might be a single source or limited source leak. But if you are running on original equipment you might need to consider wide scale replacements.
