Yes bags were replaced before I got it.

Do you know what bags it has on it currently? The internal rubber stop in the bags might be smaller causing the issue.

The part number for the airbags is : Goodyear 1R11.066.

The internal rubber bump stop is almost 1 inch shorter in the goodyear bag. That would allow the coach to drop lower and crush your rubber. How long does it take to lose enough air for it to do this? Overnight? Couple week?

It would lose all its air in a day and a half without the compressor on if left in travel mode. In manual level or auto level it will last several days without the compressor running.

I just looked and I was wrong about stops on the leveling valves. As another post stated the leveling rods are moving up until they contact the top of the fender skirt. I could probably get .75 to 1 inch if I cut off the top of the leveling rod that sticks up but would have to rely only on the bottom hose clamp to secure it. I will look under it again to see if there is a good place to install a couple bump stops.
