those chassis might of been for SOB. Newmar announced earlier this year all 2018 K3 chassis will have Hadley active air systems as standard equipment. When I was at Spartan they indicated they also installed an extra tank to hold air for the system.

I think Spartan was forced to convert the Hadleys in order to compete with Freightliner that has a similar system on their chassis.

Competition is good.

I don't know the difference between "Hadley Active Air" and the "Hadley Smart Air Management Systems" that the Entegra CS K3 comes with. Can anyone explain it?

I just picked up my 2019 Entegra cornerstone.Very disappointed. This may be the noisiest most irritating coach ever. The Hadley leveling system as you drive it you can hear it constantly making air puffinging noises. Is yours doing the same thing.This is absolutelyThe noisiest coach and most annoying sound ever ever Road in in my life from the sounds coming from the Hadley leveling system. Really pissed off. I bought it from Orlando Rv and they’re not doing much to help.

Call Entegra , something s wrong with your system. I seldom hear mine but do hear it leveling once in a while but not very noisy at all. Love the Hadley system and it has saved me in tight situations several times. All JMHO

Sorry to hear that you're disappointed in the Hadley system installed on your Cornerstone...

BUT

...it sounds like it's operating the way it's designed to operate.

Not sure what you expect your dealer to do when the coach they sold you is operating the way the manufacturer designed it to operate.

Hope you find some satisfaction, somehow.

Take care,
Stu

Take at look at HWH's Active Air System, it is the cadillac of air leveling. But the HWH Active Air system really shines when cornering , or evasive maneuvering on the interstate. The air lines are completely replaced with 2 or 3 times larger air lines, in order to transfer air from the right side of the coach to the left side, or vice versa. Take at look at HWH's Acitve Air System, Impressive.

Have you called Entegra? What did they have to say about the noise?

Was it making that noise on the test drive? This is the first time I have seen anything posted about the Hadley being noisy, which would make one think it is not a common situation.

What are your gauges doing while the system is making the air noise? Mine blew the center out of one of the solenoids on the manifold which is located under the floor right under the drivers seat. Hadley has had a rash of this problem and the system makes a lot of noise when that happens. They have started making the center that screws in and that is suppose to cure the solenoid problem.

Good post J.H, sounds like it is an easy fix. From my last delivery, my test drive will be a lot longer than down 2 off ramps then back. I hope my PDI team takes my new coach for a weekend drive before calling me that it is ready.
