Hello all, I have two questions for you. I need recommendations in the
Colorado Springs/Denver area for shops or experienced folks who will work
on our coaches as my son has the Kingsley out there and needs some things
done.
2nd question. On my Palm Beach I noticed the left side was barely raising
and could hear air hissing when checking. It seems air is leaking between
bag and cone. Is that a shot bag or something else.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Jim,

I can't begin to help you with Colorado.

If you are sure that the air is leaking between that airspring and the cone, then it is truly shot.....
But, check carefully, a leak at the connection can seem to be coming from the cone, but it is just being turned around there.

Matt - just come from the ice cream social

Spray the area with dish soap/water or kid’s bubble soap to find the leak. You can also use a 3’ heater hose as a listening device to try to pinpoint it.
