Ridewell Front Air Leveling not working in Travel Mode on '02 Magna. Need some help as limped home yesterday with the Front Height Control Valve not filling the air bags. Tried adjusting the Lever Arm on the Control Valve with engine at 1000 rpm and in Travel Mode. Adjusting the arm as recommended in the Tech Manual and Valve will not fill Front Air Bags. Suspect bad valve as Air Leveling works fine as does manually raising and dumping so air bags are good. Rear bags filling to proper height in travel mode but front bags not inflating. Looked at CC Pnematic Suspension System drawing D15954 for the Coach and shows a CC Part number (21192-1) but no Ridewell Part number. Any suggestions as to how to cross reference? Trapped at home...Appreciate any help.

Pete, from reading your post and with the 100's of control valve post's on the forum the place to start would be a ride height valve. The adjustments are very sensitive and with no movement of air bags something has failed in the valve or a blocked air passage.
Build a set of blocks to position the coach so it can't fall on top of you on some hard surface. Get a new valve, NAPA stocks them. If you have the part number NAPA will be able to cross reference.
If your not able to change it call one of the mobile truck repair guys. 30 minutes to R and R and adjust. (tops) AL
