My coach is fitted with OEM style bags, new as of about 2010 or so and they look and work good, hold pressure etc etc.
There are schraeder valves and shut-offs fitted at the bags, a bit ass-backwards IMO as the valve is on the "wrong" side of the shut-off, i.e. the pressure can't be checked or adjusted via the schraeder etc unless the cock is opened. Anyway, it sorta works after a fashion. I intend to remedy the positioning when I get a round tuit.
Meanwhile, the auto level and cab controls are not being used (due to a leak somewhere I guess - not checked where or if as yet) so the coach has been driven up til now with both bags inflated to around 70psi (IIRC) and the taps closed.
I understand that with my system, the coach can compensate for load variations side to side if it's set at auto when driving - that sure sounds preferable to a guesstimate inflation via a schraeder as it is now.
I'm wondering if this setup could contribute to my steering/handling issues?
Next job will be the air system so just looking for any tips, gotchas or other info regarding the 77 Electrolevel system.
Thanks guys
