Need some opinions. We've been in Brownsville, TX for almost a month and a few days ago I noticed a "breeze" when sitting on the couch in the #1 slide (front on drivers side). In checking on the outside I found the bladder was flat. The air gage for #1 slide was at "0". I have a shut-off valve on that valve assembly. I shut it off and turn it back on and there is a sound of air, but the pressure gage stays at "0".
I don't know if the air line has come off a nipple or perhaps that vacuum is engaged somehow. I have taken the line off the bladder side of the valve and air is coming through. If I put my finger up to block the airflow, the gage goes all the way over to the peg, so I know that there is a goodly amount of air going through...BUT...I cannot see and do not know how you get to that nipple or however it's connected. I have brought the slide in to where the floor drops and can see underneath from inside but the airline just seems to go up into a frame rail and I can't see anything.
How does one get to that connection? Any ideas, guys?
