Okay, well, I've done it now. I've had my new coach home for three weeks now. I've replaced the driver's side manifold and gasket, (major shout out to Jim Hupy for the cordless impact suggestion, all bolts out with no breakage! And the 1/8" hole drilled above the middle bolt! ) and am now replacing the old toilet and cleaning up.
Today I decided to try out the auto level system and see how it worked.
The PO told me that the auto leveling system works just fine, but that the compressor would not shut off. So either he or a PO before him had installed shut off valves at the quad bags. He said that he would run the compressor and get the coach where he wanted it, and then shut off the air valves to hold it.
Well, I started up the coach and put the switch in Travel, and went outside and opened the shut off valves. Went back inside with a spray bottle of soapy water and identified three leaks, two at the solenoids and one at the fitting exiting the head of the factory compressor. Went back outside and found a leak at the driver's side auto leveling valve.
I noticed the coach was getting lower, and before long it was sitting on the skid bars that some PO had installed to protect the dump valve.
I tried Left Raise, Right Raise, Travel, etc, but the coach won't lift even though the compressor is running. There is a schrader valve on the bottom of the little air tank next to the compressor. I have a small 110v portable compressor that maxes out around 90 psi, so I hooked that to the schrader valve on the tank, no joy.
So, my coach is in the driveway, currently unmoveable, which stinks because I just went today and got new tags for it so I could drive it.
Can anyone offer some sage advice on how to get it back up to travel height?
Thank you.
