We are in the back country of Maine, 2005 Damon Tuscany a 40' coach, and when we park, the airbags don't deflate, when we put the jacks down, they are still inflated and we are up in the air; They are all automatic, no manual dump switch. Any solutions?

Check your coach manuals. I believe there is a switch on the valve for the air bags which you can activate manually. On mine, it is on one of the cross members behind the front axle. If that is the case, make sure you have SAFE clearance to get out from under the coach.

Three years ago my bags wouldn't deflate. I checked the dump valves and discovered dirt dabbers had closed both of them up with mud. Removed the mud and they worked fine.

I would guess a failed dump valve. The jack controller just triggers the valve - if it doesn't open to dump air, the jacks don't know it. Most any truck repair place can replace the dump valve if needed.

if you have no manual lever, you will need to do the recalibration procedure for the leveling system and then the auto deflate will be reset.
lci told me the system needs a recalibration every few months
the procedure is on their website and in the leveling book page 5 i believe
