Either the compressor isn't running, you have leak, or it's automatic control issue.


Do you have air brakes? Is the gauge showing pressure build up of any kind?

What is the pressure in both tanks? Are you saying the front is airing up and not the rear?

As 10 fan said check the gauges on the dash for pressure. If both #1 and #2 show 100 pounds or more the compressor is working. If you have air pressure and the front airs up and the rear does not I would suspect the rear ride height valve, one valve for both bags in the rear.

You may need to get a mobile mechanic out to look at it. Fingers crossed it is not from mouse damage over the winter.

Hi bear12w,
Consider trying this first.
1. Lower the jacks as far as they will go. This gets the coach as high as possible off the chassis.
2. Start the motor.
3. Retract the jacks with the motor running.
Being in storage things tend to stick until one gets them operating again.
