I parked my 40' Vectra 2 weeks ago and all was fine. I dumped the air when I parked it.

Today I took it out for a "battery charge" exercise and found the air suspension, altho registering 105lbs front & rear on the gauges, when looking at the coach/tire relationship it was clear the coach was never raised. I drove it for a few blocks - what a trip! Porpoising, bouncing, etc.
Anyway, any clues what I should look for? Andy switches or breakers, etc that might need resetting?
I tried getting on accessfreightliner.com but couldn't find the application form.
Thanks.

Cal;l the Freightliner 800 number and they will give you the information that you need.

Hi Paul...Here is what I would try. Start your engine, turn on your HWH jack panel and press store.(even if you didn't have your jacks down before) This worked the last time I saw a guy bouncing down a campground road in his motorhome with no air in his air bags.

Hi Paul
You have to push the store button.
The air bags will not inflate until store button reset.
Good Luck.

Islander, would he still have to push the store button if he never put the jacks down?

Good Question
Only if you dump the air.
Then you have to push the store button.
Winnebago helped me out on this not Freightliner.
The Dealer we purchased our Vectra from didn't give any instructios on the system.
I went through the same thing air bags wouldn't inflate, bouncing down the road.
I would park it at the house dump the air never put the jacks down.
Crank it up the air bags wouldn't inflate.
Troy from Winnebago instructed me on the phone through the system.
Remember hit the store button if you dump the air.
