Lance,
You have received some very good advice on finding air leaks. I would only add that when I look for leaks I do a very systematic search so that no line, tank or fitting is missed. I start in the RF basement compartment and go compartment by compartment clockwise around the coach. I then go inside the coach and check under the dash and both pocket doors. Then I go under the coach, after it is properly cribbed up, and check every line, tank and fitting. My tool of choice is an ultrasonic leak detector.
To give you an idea of what you are dealing with, I parked my coach in November. Both pins of the brake air gauge are still at 115 psi.
Your 12V compressor does not refill your supply and brake tanks like the 110V compressor does. The 12V compressor just fills a small tank in the RR wheelwell that allows you to use the pocket doors, flush the air toilets and keep your slide seals inflated.
Good Luck..........................
