Ride height valves

This issue is driving me crazy... if the coach (HR Endeavor, 40PDQ) is not parked perfectly level (side to side) after 2 days, the low side is completely deflated. If I park and the left side is slightly lower than the right, the left side will be completely deflated after ~48 hours. Same if the right side is slightly lower.

I had a ride height valve that was sticking, so I went ahead and replaced all three of them so I wouldn't have to worry about it... the problem still exists.

I realize the ride height valves discharge air to level the coach out -- it just doesn't seem to stop and again, it depends on the low side.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

more info needed to diagnose this issue. what year is your coach? Just guessing, no air leveling system? And do you have an air powered step cover?

Lindy has the ride height been set lately ? sounds like the ride height is out of adjustment. The step control would only deplete the air in the tanks the air bags are protected with a check valve, all the bags leaking on one side makes me think it has to be in the ride height valves adjustment not faulty valves.

Jethro, it's a 2004. No air leveling - the step is electric.

Walt, the ride height was set after I replaced the valves. It's dead on. The odd thing is, if it's parked perfectly level (side-to-side) -- it holds air just fine.

It starts with one corner. Again, if the coach is on ground that leans to the left, the left rear will deflate after 48 hours, then the front compensates and also goes down. If the ground is off-level to the right, the right rear will drop and the right front will "catch up"

Drives me crazy.

That is crazy Lindy, I have no idea why?? I think I would air up and park with one side out of level and get under the rear of the coach and start checking with a bottle of soap mixture, it's got to be a leak in the valve somewhere.
