Air release while not in use

Is it normal for the air to release out of the front end after you park your vehicle? I think it used to take days but I noticed that it didn't take a day this last time, is this normal?
Thanks

Air leakage is going to happen but there are some things that will cause it to possibly leak faster. Have you parked it in this exact same spot before and it not leak down as fast as it did this last time? In other words if you are on terrain that the air ride system is trying to dump some air out of the high side then there goes most of the air out immediately.

Mine has always leaked down-even in as little as a day. So I wouldn't worry. I know it's a common occurrence with the Spartan chassis.

I try to periodically run the engine to build pressure just to actuate the air control system and so that something doesn't stick open from non-use.

RV Wizard, Yes it is parked in the same spot each time. It just seemed to leak faster this time than any other. Of course I've only had it a 2 months.

I would not worry too much about it. You do know, that it takes air pressure to release the park brake and if you loose pressure the brakes will be applied!?
