2017 Anthem air leak
When my coach is in storage the rear air tank reads 0 after one day. The front holds 60 lbs after sitting for a month. Where should I start looking for a leak?

Anything and everything. Get a spray bottle of water and soap and start spraying. With that type of leak you'll be seeing bubbles pretty easily.

Our 16 has done this for ever along with my friends 16, we never have worried about it and never have found a major leak on either unit.

Same for our 2014 Anthem. BTW kids bubble solution is excellent for finding leaks.
Later...

First look might be a 'listen'

IF you have your Anthem in a quiet location and you have good hearing, you might start 'looking' for your leak(s) by listening. Start your engine and when the the air dryer purges, your pressure in both tanks will be at their max. Turn off the engine and do a slow walk around your coach, listening for leaks. I've located leaks on mine like that. If that doesn't work, it's a somewhat tedious process of spraying soapy water on the very numerous fittings.
Good luck.
Take care,
Stu

Let us know what you find, we did listen for the leaks on both units with no luck. Ours take about 8 hours to go down.

If after a few hours, your parking brake comes off, engine off. spray the blue lines.
Blue are service, red are emergency.

On my previous 2015 cornerstone, one of the air tanks developed a hole in the tank from not draining the moisture out if it. Rusted out ended up with a hole the size of a pencil lead, put a screw with rubber washer on it in the hole and made sure to check the drains monthly

Your problem sounds like a bad push fitting. Spartan used a lot of these as do all chassis builders. You just take the air hose and push it into a fitting and it locks in like the ones they use on irrigation systems. As they get old and move around they will develop slight leaks. I was at Speedco a couple of weeks ago and the service guy found two of mine leaking. Called Spartan and found the new fittings are inexpensive but the shipping is not so he said any shop should have them. Sometimes you can just push them back in but most of the time you will have to replace the fitting. Good luck,
