Jim,

I get the part about raising the rear a couple of inches. But if I lock the valve, doesn't that mean that as well as not escaping, air won't be able to get into the bags as well? They generally hold air well, and the compressor only comes on once or twice during a normal day's driving. But in the extreme cold, the rear will start to drop an hour or two after shutting the engine off. My guess is that the slow leak in very cold weather is coming from the bags rather than the tubing and fittings because they lose elasticity as things freeze up.
