25K AirSafe hitch problems
We have an AirSafe 25K hitch which we purchased almost a year ago. We purchased the Ford conversion system to allow the use of the F-450 puck system. The problem that we have is the hitch will not hold air pressure. We called the factory and were told how to find any leaks. Using what we were told, we found a leak on one of the air bag connections.
We emailed the factory rep and he sent us parts. I installed the parts according to the instructions given me by the factory rep. I filled the system with air to 100 psi. Hitch the trailer to the truck and pull it out of the RV barn where we keep the trailer. Once the trailer is out of the barn and level, the indicators on the side of the shocks show the hitch is in the green area. We unhitch the trailer and open it up to allow it to air out.
About an hour later, I looked at the hitch and the shocks, with no weight on them are back to the bottom of the green area. Spray all of the connections with an LP leak finding solution and no bubbles. Recharge the system with air to 100 psi again. Shocks move to the top of their travel showing the lighter shade of red. Close up the trailer, hitch it to the truck, and back it into the RV barn. Leave it hitched to the truck to see what happens.
Less than an hour later, the shocks are no longer in the green area. Spray all of the connections again, some of which are really hard to reach and no bubbles. Ideas? Air bag(s) leaking? I know somewhere there is a leak but where and what to do is the question.
