Air leak on brake

[JohnEd]

Jrid,

I am happy for you that your problem is solved.....really, I am.  I have read Knuts say that their bus was still aired up after a week of sitting.  Where is the 28 pounds going that you are losing in two hours?  Would finding that be chasing your tail.  I guess I am asking if different buses hold air for different amts of time and that that is a characteristic.


Thanks,

John

I will keep looking but am happy with the difference that this valve made. I would like to hold air for weeks also but years of letting the little leaks go is now time consuming. Most people I ask about holding or building air don't always answer the question. This  leads me to believe that many buses don't build or hold air well. I will keep fighting.

John,

I have never had a bus with air suspension but I know they need to maintain level just as my sprung suspension-ed coach does.  Pre has a "air leveling" system that certainly must maintain pressure in the bags and in the supply tank to function.  Intuitively!  From what I have read, they do that very well.  If an air ride didn't level itself with air when parked, is it safe to assume that the suspension is aired down and level is achieved and maintained by using ramps?  I don't see any other way and my Dometic, $1,000, takes sever issue with operating off level and I think they are finicky like that even in a Prevo.  We all bend to the "desires and whims" of the Dometic Gods.

I think it would be of interest and help if you documented your "journey" in scrubbing your slower leaks from your system.  I will do that also but I am a year plus from beginning my adventure and I think more than one exercise would be helpful.  As well, I can imagine anyone having enough to do that they avoid the "picking fly $#!% from pepper" projects.

Thanks for your posts and good luck,

John
