Having a problem with the passenger side back air bag loosing pressure.
I crawled under and could not find anything wrong. When I got back to my site in Fl I could pump up the presure and it seems to be holding now. Any comments on just what I should do if this pressure looses as I am going fown the road again. Thanks

Measure and write down what your normal ride height is. You might have a ride height valve going out and if it does, there is a procedure to bypass the ride height valves and press on until you get to a repair facility. The procedure is bascically to manually air up the coach using the HWH panel inside, then when at normal ride height, pull the 7.5 amp travel mode fuse. This has been discussed on this board and you can probably find it with a search. The key now, is to know what your normal ride height is, so you can duplicate it later if you have to.

Bob, Being one owner that had a failure of the rear air valve while driving I can honestly say to get it replaced ASAP. If you have pot metal housing valves in the rear both are recommended replaced at same time.
There are lots of posts on this subject along with getting taken advantage of by some repair shops. The valves are easy to replace and there seems to be more time charged for adjustment of ride height. If your height is normal now take the readings before you exchange the valves.

Three of my air bags are original equipment. No leaks.
