Air suspension problem
Hi I'm taffy from Wales in the uk.I am having a problem with my 2003 fleetwood revolution.when I retract the levelling jacks the air suspension doesn't fill intermittently this time I cannot fill the front suspension .I can see and hear air coming from a valve behind the drivers side front wheel it is normally intermittent this time I cannot stop it leaking. Can the valve be cleaned or what advise can anyone give me please. Your comments are eagerly awaited Many thanks taffy

Is it a independent front? Air bags on both sides? What kind of chassis? reguardless, if the air leveling valve is leaking I would think it should be replaced with a new one, I am not sure if it is rebuildable but it is most likly it won't be worth the trouble. here is something to look at to see if anything you have looks like these

Are the air pressures on the dash gauge showing normal running air pressure. Brakes operating normally??
I'm wondering if it is the dryer purge valve blowing off and not closing back as it should.This valve is at the bottom of a large cannister with air lines and electrical cables hooked up to it. Normally located somewhere near the front of the coach
