2006 Newmar Essex air bags

Asking for a friend: 2006 Essex front air bags will randomly dump while the coach is in motion. Once stopped the bags will re-inflate. Our local repair facality cannot find the problem. Curious if anyone has had this problem and how to fix it.

Thanks, Jeff

    Air leveling? If so, that is where I would start.

    While it could happen, less likely a mechanical ride height valve or air bag would go from OK to not OK and back to OK.....

    Could be ride height valve. Or a leak in one of the bags that seals itself most of the time. Spray with soapy water on bags, dump and reinflate.
