Air bags......

2003 HR Endeavor 36 ft. Coach has 8 air bags. The last three times I've parked the MH, with air bags not deflated, when I came back after 2-3 days the coach is leaning to the left.....noticeably. Haven't knowingly done anything that should cause that to happen. Appreciate any ideas as to what might be going on, and what to check/fix.

What kind of leveling system do you have, air or hydraulic? It is common for the bags to sag after a bit. Is this in storage or while camping. Common leaks occur at the fittings and the air manifold. A spray bottle with a soap solution will help to locate the air leak.

You have a leak on the left side, soap spray bottle and listen for leaks. Probably a fitting or dump valve leaking.
You didn't say weather you have the level system active or still in travel. If the level system is active you have a problem with that system.

My air system is pretty basic....8 air bags that fill when the motor is running. I release air from the bags by pumping the air brakes, and/ or using a dump valve switch on the dash. Cannot adjust, or turn the level system on or off.

It's simple...you've got a leak on left side...could be front or back or both. Blow her up, check back every 2 hours and see who's falling first,,,front or back...but I'd check both F & B. I had 3 bags leaking when I bought mine (...Front Rt & Lt {rear bags} & rear rt {front bag}) i didn't have much luck with a spray bottle...bought some bubble bath from the 99 cent store, made a 50/50 water solution and painted it on with a 2" brush....leaks that spray couldn't find were easy with brush. I've got the cleanest air bags in the west..Good Luck Paul
