Checking ride height and questions
#1

I noticed my coach was leaning right (not in a conservative way) … I went through a bunch of threads and found Richard’s most useful information and a list of questions.  I have included the questions and my answers below.  
Can someone please point me to a thread that shows how to adjust the FRONT ride height? 

With the engine running, and the coach in travel mode: 
Does the coach come to the proper ride height? No, rear both 12” front: 14” (need to come
What pressure do you read on the pressure gauges at the front? 100 on Supply; 115 on Brake
If the coach does not come to the proper ride height please describe what it does. 
  • The front is too high in the front on both sides (14”) 

With the engine off, but the key in the on position. 
Starting with the coach at ride height. DONE
Does the coach stay level? If not describe what happens. Travel mode level, yes (front high, back correct height); 
What happens with the air gauges in the front? Important to comment on all both the brake and supply. Supply dropping about 1lbs per minute on average (I’ve got a leak in the rear but have not located it yet) 
Do you hear air escaping at any location. Not with my normal hearing - need to check with Infinicon later… 

With the engine running and coach at ride height, place the coach in LEVEL mode, but don’t press any other buttons. 
Does the coach stay level? 
What happens with the air pressure gauges? Supply shot up to about 110lbs; and exhausting air from the front; the coach leveled and will stay level; 

Last data. 
Leave the coach in level mode and turn off the ignition. 
What happens with the pressure gauges? 110v pump was on so everything good; turned off 110v pump and waited 5 minutes: Brake: 115lbs Supply: 100lbs 
Does the coach stay level. Seems to be staying level - will see how long it takes to leak down :-( 

The following pictures show: pass side view dumped; driver side view dumped; pass rear height (at the square tube in front/behind the wheel just above/inside the fiberglass trim); driver rear height; pass front height; driver front height; coach pass side in travel mode; driver side in travel mode
