Dumping Air Question ???

If the coach will be at rest for a month or so....... is it okay to dump all the air? Will it hurt the air bags or the suspension to do so? I've got a 42' Signature if this helps to answer the question.

Thanks
Don

I don't see how it can hurt. When we store it I dump the air and don't put down the jacks so the air bags are deflated and the coach is sitting on the rubber stops. I have never had a problem.

Don....If you don't dump the air, it will leak down anyway. If you haven't done it in awhile, let the air out and then drain the tanks front and rear.

An excerpt from an email I received from a factory rep:

"It is not imperative to dump the air bags
for storage or parking because the coach will settle
on its own."
