DebNDan,
This is why I always try and get folks to learn their rigs, from top to bottom, front to back and side to side. Now, I'm not talking about learning how to remove the engine and transmission and rebuild them. I'm just speaking of learning how your air system works, what's involved, when the LOW AIR warning buzzer stops and or starts, when the parking brake will RELEASE and or, when it will AUTO APPLY when the air gets to a low point of psi.

Learn about your charging systems, both engine and shore power charging. Learn about your inverter and what it will do and won't do, where the receptacles it powers up, and which ones do not. The more you know about your coach, the easier it is, to try and help yourself if and when you develop a problem. Of course we're all here to help if and when you do have a problem, no doubt about that. Although these coaches are more and more complicated, especially due to highly advance electronics, there are still things the average owner can learn to help cope with potential illness's of their rolling Kleenex boxes. Good luck and do post if and when you find your coaches air issues.
Scott

Interesting twist... last evening I started the RV and let it air up. Ran it for 10 mins or so while I tinkered with other stuff. Turned it off, never touched the transmission shifter, brake or jacks pad. This morning I take a look and it appears no air has dumped. Have to do more investigating/tests... pretty sure no leak but may be a computer or setting issue.

What Fire up said but I would suggest building some maintenance ramps. Mine are 2x12 stacked that give me 6" lift. As such even with air fully dumped I can crawl around under the coach on my creeper. Bottom board is about 4', next about 3" and so forth. Screwed together with decking screws. I made 6 to support all tires. With the additional height you can safely get under and start spraying that soapy solution looking for the leak. I put my coach on the ramps when I do the lube and adjust ride height. That and an occasional underside inspection.
