Airbags won’t inflate
I went out today to get ready for a trip to get hydra lift installed but can’t get the airbags to inflate.
The air pressure is good but the coach is sitting flat.
I can’t get under it to check the bag valves. Also all 10 bags are down.
Any ideas?

One thing to check, that the hydraulic jacks are all the way up, they lock out there airbags when down. Lower them a bit, then raise fully, then turn off their power switch.

Run your jacks down with auto level. Put Mh in fast idle and retract the jacks again. My guess is it’ll air up.
Sure would help if you guys would put your year and model of Mh in your signature lines.

I will try that. I did just raise the jacks and that's when I noticed the problem.
Thanks

For some reason I can't get the signature to stay up.

What pressures are you seeing on the dash gauges?

I got the bags to air up.
I had to lower and raise the auto level a couple of times then it started working.
It had been sitting and needed working to get it going.

I’m sure you probably do this already, but always make sure you have good air pressure and engine in high idle before retracting the jacks which activates the valve to air up.

I spent a lot of time chasing same recurring issue on my 2012. Final fix ended up being replacing the air governor.

I have had that several times, especially if sitting for a long time in storage. The dump valve sticks in the open position. Pushing the "all retract" button again, usually closes the valve allowing it to air up. Every once in awhile the jacks would have to be recycled. It was more common on my 14.
On the Travel Supreme, after 10 years it did it quite often to where the valve needed to be replaced.
