airbags

Super Springs are the way to go. Since I carry a motorcycle
On the rear. I added them on my 26f Fleetwood Tioga.
Works Great. Its a E450.

I've had good luck with this air compressor

No matter whether you carry a compressor or not, you need to get the air bag replaced or repaired. Better to do it under warranty then to pay for it yourself.

Firestone also recommends not using the levelers with air in the bags. So what do you do? Let the air out, use the levelers, and then when leaving find the nearest gas station and put air in the bags as needed.

I've carried a 12V truck tire compressor in every RV I've owned over the years.

Good idea!

You can drive a while without air in the bags.

Firestone recommends a minimum of 5 psi in their bags, or you can damage the bags.

Its mostly a problem of wear-points where a deflated bag creases. Short term, not a big deal but over time the bags will fail where they are creased. Also, depending on which airbag you have (mostly, the ones that replace the bumpstops) no air means you may be bottoming out the airbags, and when that happens it feels like frame hitting the axle.

It really doesn't matter which air bag system he has, he has no on board compressor to fill bag up if he removes the sir.
Yes, it would help to know what style of front suspension hes has and if the air bags are only in the front.
The manufactuer should be replacing the defective air bag or repairing system if that is what is leaking under warranty.

How do you know he doesn't have a compressor? He can drive to a service station and fill them up if he needs too. You can drive a while without air in the bags.

Our C came with factory airbags but I noticed it leaned to the left slightly. I checked them both with soapy water and found them to be leaking. Tightened them and now no trouble other than the eventual leakage with time. I check them every trip and they always maintain around 40Lbs. However the left side of the C does lean and inch or so to the left but the majority of the C's weight (slide outs) is on the left side and it's ten years old so I compensate by more air in the left side bag.
