I'll dogpile on this one, since I have also had the unexplained air leak that seems to be connected to plastic bodied Ridewell HCVs. I replaced mine with a metal bodied HCV.
Some of the newer gurus might be scratching their heads and asking how does the HCV leak when the coach is in level mode? Don't the six pack valves isolate the HCV's? The six pack valves isolate the HCV from the airbag, there is a separate air supply line from the coach air supply that feeds the HCV. So if the body of the HCV is leaking, the air will drain quickly out of the system, and the coach will stay level.
