This is probably 'motorcoach 101', but I can't find a reference to this in any manual I have.

What do you do about the air when parking the coach in storage for more than a week or two. Do you dump it or forget about it? Thanks, Larry '99 Affinity

I always park it without dumping the air.
After a number of days, most of the air pressure is gone.
How long depends on how air-tight everything is. My coach starts leaning over in one direction until the other end catches up.
If your coach is visible by others, you might want to dump the air as it does look kind of strange when it is leaning over. You paid a couple of hunderd K for a coach that can't even stay straight :-)

PS. Mine leans to the right. Not sure if is making some political statement.

CC told me to forget about it and just leave it alone in the "Travel Mode."

Why would leaving it in storage for a week or two be any different than living in it? If you level it for weeks at a time to stay in the coach, why not level it in storage?

-Ree, I think you mis-read the question. I asked about storage for more than a week or two-- that said , I don't know why there would be any difference, that's why I asked. There do seem to be different procedures for setting the coach up for 'non-use' as opposed to daily use.

Thanks to ALL that replied to my question.
