loss of air?

[lp5151]

we have a 2012 Entegra Anthem on a mountain chassis and been having an on going problem with loss of air when the coach just sits. the coach will drop in less than 36 hours of just sitting. we've had it checked out but shop has not been able to find a leak as of yet. Spartan has said that the leak is very slow and may be hard to find. we will be taking it back to the shop for another look see.

have any of you had this kind of problem, maybe your experience will help us locate the problem area.... ???

That rata of loss isn't all that unusual from bags or other system parts. My front ride height valve finally had to be replaced this year when I had the wheels aligned and the shop said it was leaking too fast to do an alignment. The front has leaked down over several days for many years, but no other noticeable problems.

a major problem that can happen to these leak downs is that if they are not equal, it's possible that the frame can twist and things will begin to break, crack, and pop out. most coaches will leak down, but it's usually after months of sitting... right now I have to drop the jacks to make sure the frame sits level.... we are working with Spartan and the local dealer to find a fix or the leaks.

Ours takes about 5 weeks to leak down enough to notice and it's a 2002 so I guess that's doing pretty good! We have two valves on the front and one on the rear. I don't have to worry about keeping it level as the front drops equally as does the rear.

The height on mine never changes enough to notice and when I put it away for the winter, I still have about around 90 lbs on the gauges in the spring.

I also still have pressure in the tanks as per the gauges, it's just the air bags that lose pressure.
