Yes, you need to remove the T skirt. It is very difficult the do the
work with the skirt in place.

> 2. will I need more air line and connectors as the location will move?

Hard to say, most like not.

> 3. will I need to move the leveling valves?

NO you do not need to move or touch the leveling valves.

You should be able you remove the fittings before the bag fittings as
an assembly. Just do not unscrew the fitting from the bag as it has
an O-ring that provide the seal.

I would avoid the use of teflon tape anywhere on the coach. A teflon
paste is probably best for most if not all air fittings.

No, do it yourself, easy job!
