HELP RV Stuck, Rear Air bags won't inflate

Hope someone is reading the forum on this Superbowl Sunday.

93 Winnebago Vectra, front gas model with Jet Air Ride. I have not started it in about 2 years. Was bringing it to my house to go over everything. Noticed air bags were down but tried to get in driveway anyway and now bottomed out in rear.

Anyway, compressor is not working but I can fill it manually with my home compressor. Air tank, accumulators do have some air pressure but bags will not inflate any further either in manual or auto mode. Would like to manually inflate them to get the Vectra up in the driveway and then trouble shoot further. Have not seen a way to manually inflate.

Ideas??
  • I have a manual fill for the front bags but not for the rear. Have not been able to get it up on blocks.
  • Don't think hole is a problem because I do have pressure in the bags and accumulators. Compressor is not kicking on but the main thing is that it won't dump air into the bags. I have read that there is a manual solenoid switch but have been unable to find it.
  • Hole from rot maybe, listen for leak when attempting to inflate. Jack and block it but be careful.
