Loss of rear air pressure

Started motorhome in storage both air systems came up to normal pressure for a few minutes then the rear started to decrease , red light came on an warning horn started buzzing. Cannot locate an air leak . Any guesses what might cause this,
. All air bags fully inflated. Could it be a stuck dryer valve. .?? Where to start looking??

  • Gauge issue?

    If it goes to zero, open the drain valve on each tank. If PSI, start looking for a sender/gauge issue.
  • Tried running and shutting off engine several times, no help. Still inflates all air bags but rear pressure gauge stays near zero.

    Not close to freezing? Moist air rushing thru a small hole in a valve can drop temp to form ice.
    When was the last time the tanks where drained to remove water?
  • Possible problem with leveling valve. ???
    Could linkage have come loose while down?
    Valve dirty, some how stopped up?
  • It was cold but not close to freezing. Yes it got up to operating temp.

    If yours then check the top RH corner and print it out.
  • Well you have a leak somewhere. Could be ice in the lines. Did you warm up to operating temp. It may take several times to air up and bleed off to clear the air lines.
  • Most times the air dry is ahead of all systems, so that is not likely. Pressure came up, then went away says you used the air, or it leaked. How cold is it?
