I have a 2015 Dutchstar diesel pusher 4369,I am trying to find out how to raise my air bags before backing up on my double 2x12's so it doesn't tear my mudlap off, I've had to repair it twice. Has anyone had this problem before.

Thank you in advance for the info.

I had the same issue, so I now drive forward onto my ramps.

There is no way to raise your coach above the set ride height via the airbags. I assume you have turned the tag axle dump switch to off. If you leave it on auto you will lose air in your tag as soon as you select reverse. A large number of owners have thrown the mudguard away so don't have this issue. But if you insist on keeping it, you need to pull the mudguard out of the way and latch it to the chassis somehow.

I have a rod that grabs the mud flap and I can pull it up and lock it in place, especially when I'm in a campsite where the rear is low.

I have the same problem getting into my driveway.
Source Engineering has a kit that will inflate your airbags and raise the rear end about 4". I did not go with the momentary switch, I went with a standard switch. Turn in on, let the coach raise pull into the driveway and turn it off when I'm safely in the driveway.
Here is a YouTube video on the kit.

Mikey G is correct. You can either buy Source Engineering's kit or make 1 yourself. It's just airline, fittings, air switches and an electrical switch. I installed my own kit on my coach to clear 3 inches where my side yard and driveway meet the street. My hitch would drag unless I placed wood under a tire. Now, I hold down a button for 20 seconds and back down the 10 feet I need and I let go of the switch and I'm done. It only raises the rear till the shocks can't go any longer and on my coach it is only about 3 inches.
