"I also experienced another air ride anomaly when leaving Newell. The Tech that pulled my coach out made a sharp turn causing the coach to lean, then turned off the engine without allowing the coach to level. Thus, when I started it later and was walking around for my pre-flight check air was exhausting out the drivers side rear HCV. I thought I had another problem, but Creslie told me that happens when you don't let the coach level before turning it off, and it would correct itself when I got on level ground, which it did. Richard, can you explain what is happening in this situation?"

Mike, this one is way more simple than the leaking raise solenoid. When the coach leans, you will notice if you look at the rear tires that one side is lower and one side is higher than normal. The HCV being a simple device that works solely based on the distance from the axle to the coach frame, sees the high side and lets air out to bring it down. The low side is letting air in to raise that side, you just don't hear it. Of course as soon as you get the coach out of the turn, all goes back to normal.
