Schematic of 12V air pump system

So we quite often have to "break into" the air system plumbing to determine where the problem lies. Many of us have built or collected a small assortment of air line fittings, gauges, and valves to make this a routine exercise.

The methodical approach of isolating and testing works. The random replacement of fittings, valves, and cylinders is expensive and does not produce satisfying results.

That being said there are a few areas that commonly cause air leaks of consequence. The electric valves that operate the dump valves, a hole in a slide seal, the bode door system, connections at the air ride seat, and the microphor potties are quick places to check.

If you haven't you might want to study this thread    http://newellgurus.com/showthread.php?tid=2690 and this one  http://newellgurus.com/showthread.php?tid=2677&page=2

And the best one of all  " @rheavn can you find your most excellent thread on the system and the air leak isolators? I couldn't find it in a quick search this morn."

That thread should be a sticky at the top of air systems category.

Again, Thank You very much for the advice and links. Oddly, before we picked the coach up, it had both slide seals replaced by Newell, the dump valve replaced as well as a couple of other air leaks repaired at the small air tank and filter by Motor Homes of Texas and was signed off by there tech as air system working properly and holding pressure. Because of them working on it, we did not think this would be an issue, but I guess we thought wrong. I did check the 120 compressor and it does not seem to pumping proper pressure, will put the gauge on it tomorrow. 
Thanks
