Air leaks
From the stand point of a diesel mechanic, 3-4 days is awesome. Most truckers would love that. Basically you just don't want any audible leaks. If your coach air holds now you are ahead of the game. Realistically every fitting and valve is a potential leak point, that's not counting all the places the airlines can rub on anything else including themselves. I have a pinhole leak in the compressor discharge hose, it's from where the hose was run thru a cheap lined clamp and it rubber the rubber off the clamp and abraded the hose. I'll pull it off, take it to work and make a new one. Simple, but that's what I do. This forum is a great tool to educate ourselves and others.
