Reese,
I am not familiar with the "ultra high" system. My air compressor goes to 110 psi and shuts off.
"Does this 130 PSI adversely effect the connectors or the tubing?"
I do not believe that 130 psi will adversely effect your air system, although I don't want mine over 120 psi. The 130 psi will make your air leaks more obvious and possibly cause any weak points in your air system to leak.
"Could the 130 PSI be the reason for the numerous air leaks that this coach has had?"
Probably not the cause, but the 130 psi has made them more obvious. I am inclined to think that the reason you are experiencing many air leaks is the age of your coach and the push in fittings used. The push in fittings start to leak over time from the vibration of the coach going down these extremely smooth highways. I advise people to replace all push in fittings with DOT compression fittings. If you shut off the "ultra high" system and lower the psi to 110 psi does your coach leak at the same rate?
At the next NO Rally Rally we will be discussing air leaks and how to solve the issue. As hard as I have tried I have not been able to eliminate all air leaks, but one can limit them to where your air compressor will run very little. That is the good news. Bad news is every time you move your coach more air leaks can occur from the earthquake condition our coaches go through.
