I have a remote controlled wireless air system in my coach. I have presents
for ride height, as well as tank draining, programmed into my remote
control. When I want to pump my tanks, I push the button, and the coach
squats on the rear, and leans in the direction of the dump station. When it
gets as low as I want, I stop lowering and start pumping. It will drain
both of my tanks completely. When I am finished, I push the button for ride
height. By the time I stow my hoses, I am back to ride height. Off like a
rabbit.
