HWH auxilary air system
Thanks so much CountryB for spending your time getting back to me on my long post.
Learned a lot from your reply.
At this time I just want to check and see if the aux. compressor does run, so as you and vito,A discussed to get the compressor to turn on I could turn the key on put the HWH on and raise and lower the coach until the air gets below 85-90 psi and the aux compressor should kick on, right? or is there a better way?
As was discussed also I could supply 12 volts to the 2 pin connection and it should run but this seems like the longer method and hardest.
Question- the manual says that the suspension on the air level system will not operate unless the ignition system is on, so you park hit the level on switch, level out and turn the ignition off. If you were to have a airbag or line leak and it was big enough your coach could go out of level overnight again if the leak was big enough. I'm thinking this would be a good way of knowing if the system had a fairly fast leak.
You and pwhittle both mentioned that it would be best to let all the air from your bags out for the reasons you both mentioned, thanks for the tip, I was afraid that the weight of the couch would be harmful to the airbags if they were deflated kind of pinching them with all that weight maybe breaking them down or cause earlier failure from weight fatigue.
I was gone for 6 weeks and the bags were so low in the rear the body side skirt area was about a couple inches from touching the top of the tires little worried about hurting the bags so I placed some blocks when I leave between the frame and chaise. Now that I think about that, both sides seemed to drop down at the same rate so maybe the air loss is from a common connection and not any one bag. When I get enough time I will run some checks and monitor the rates of air loss seems the front bags hardly ever bleed down, a good thing.
Thanks again for the info and I will be looking up the type of system I have to get a manual on it, thanks for the link to HWH, have fun and be safe.
