airbags

We have a 2014 Sunseeker 3010DS came BigFoot Jacks & airbags after using the jacks on our last 3 campout we noticed leak in airbags and needed to put air in airbags is this normal
  • I'm on a Ford E450 chassis, so I need to carry a air compresser with me went using the jacks cause only the right side leaks way faster then the left side? the firestone airbags came with coach brand new off the lot 2014 Forest River Sunseeker 3010DS
  • Read the instructions with the air bags. It says that when using leveling jacks you are supposed to let the air out of the bags first. If you don't, you will damage the air bags. With air in the air bags and using the jacks you are lifting the motorhome by the air bags. That is an air bag killer. Use levelers with air bags empty!
  • OP has airbags. One is loosing air.
    I fought air bags for many years and finally switched to Super Coil Springs from Henderson lineup. Made a world of difference.
  • No, that is not normal.
    I would check the valve on the air bag or other fill connections if equipped with remote fill.
    It could also be a leaking air bag.
    What chassis is your rig on? Did chassis manufactuer install the air bags?
