I am posting this for Mike Ginn.
Today, he had a very bizzare occurence. He had to make a hard brake, then he noticed that the passenger side rear was rubbing on the fender skirt. He made it to the shoulder, examined the situation, and the coach remained on the tire with the engine running.
He turned the engine off, and a few minutes later, restarted the engine. The coach returned to normal ride height.
The coach has remained level for over a week so that sort of rules out a leaking air bag.
The engine builds 120 psi and easily maintains it.
Pictures of the ride height control valve don't show anything obvious.
Replication of a hard stop in a parking lot, did not cause a second occurence.
Mike is coming by tomorrow, and if you have any ideas about what to look at or any kind of diagnostic to run, then please speak up.
