Winterizing chassis suspension

When storing for winter should the air suspension bags have the air dumped.
Thanks

Mine seem to deflate on their own, after a few hours of sitting...

Yes, they should have the air dumped. They will leak down eventually anyway and it might not be evenly.

I would level the coach to get some of the weight off the tires, this would mean dumping the air.

There may be some condensate in the air tanks, so I would 'pull the lanyards' and blow down the air tanks (with engine off). I'd be concerned that any moisture in the blow-down valves could freeze. This would dump the air bags.
