Went to my storage facility today to put a few things in the coach and it was leaning hard to the right. I had parked it about a week ago and did not dump air, just left it at ride height. This happened once before when I took the coach to the shop for paint work. Drove the coach to the shop, parked it outside, went inside to do paperwork. Came back out and it was leaning to the right.

Ride height was last checked at CC this past September. All was well.

I have a spare valve for the rear and one for the front. Is a bad or sticking valve the likely cause?

I activated the leveling system and dumped the air so the coach would not be leaning. Did not want to place undue stress on suspension.

I would guess a leak in the air line on that side. They all leak down after a while but if it is as fast as going in to do paperwork I would use a soap or some outher leak check solution to find the leak.
Let us know what you find.

Definitely sounds like an issue with the ride height valve or an air leak. I'm sure you know but be sure to block the coach up high enough to work under. I just changed out two of my old valves before my last trip. Easy job. If you need the ride height specs send me a pm

If it sagged when running and the compressor was working I might think air valves. It is sagging after it is shut off.

If the coach is parked and not running then then I don't believe the RHV should be the issue. The air in the bag goes to the a solenoid valve located up on the frame (sometimes called the six pack). This solenoid valve opens to allow air in and out of the bag. Sometimes they will leak slowly and then you will see the drop on one side or another. You should have a schematic of the air system in the big book and it will show you the arrangement of all of the components.

Good luck,
