Air leaks

[neely butler]

Gary - Duane,

Thanks fellows for your response. Let system pump up to 120 #. After one
hour down to 95#, after two hours, down to 80 No drop in coach height.
Anxious to check it in the AM. Have asked several places about spray can
of leak detector. No one here knows about it. Guess I will have to go to
Nashville to find it. Will let you know of results. Had hoped to go
camping next week.

Neely--
Don't let the leak interfer with your camping trip!!!

My guess is that your check valve has a backwards leak, ie, air is leaking
back through the valve and through the compressor when the compressor is off.
The final leak that I found was this and a replacement valve fixed it. Jim
Bounds has them (about $20).

Happy camping!!!

Neely,

For piece of mind get yourself a tank valve and install it in lieu of
the air line. This will allow you to manually adjust the air bags. Jim
Bounds has kits or you can make your own. The kit consists of a tank
valve and a shut off valve that is in line between the sir line and the
air bag. Works great and you can adjust with a portable air pump for
about $50. GO CAMPING

Walt we are back to square one again. eliminating the air system can very
easily overload individual tires. Don't drive the coach in hold,or
eliminated the dynamic air system. You are liable to get more "piece of
mind" than you think! I can't believe Jim Bounds sells valves for the
purpose of manually adjusting the system. If so I would like to hear him say it.

Tom,
For emergency purposes only. Like having to go camping. It leaves the
air bags in operation.
