Does anyone have any authority guidance on dumping the air our of the three air systems when your coach is to be stored for a month or so. Any opinions with reasons pro and con? I am now doing it as was told it keeps moisture out and lessens chance of creating leaks.????

I don't think dumping the air will keep moisture out nor will leaving it in increase the possibility of leaks. When you leave your home do you drain all the water from your water pipes to remove the pressure from the lines? I have my Country Coach Prevost parked in my garage sometimes for 2-3 months (I know I should drive it) and I don't do anything but let the air bags down so the coach is sitting on the tires. There is still some air pressure in the system. The moisture comes into the air system through your air compressor intake. If there is an air-dryer system it will eliminate much if not all of the moisture in the atmosphere (move to Arizona--no moisture in the air there). Draining/bleeding-off your air tanks on a routine basis is helping to remove moisture that is traped in the air system. There is probably a small manual or electric valve on each of the 3 air reservoir tanks. Did the dealer/person you bought the motorhome from explain how it all works? There should have been a manual with the motorhome explaining all this. If in doubt call Country Coach service department and ask them regarding your particular motorhome.
