First thanks for the shout out. I was happy to help.
Second thanks to Jeff for passing on the parts to an owner in need.
A couple of things to add to the post for those who may stumble upon while sitting on the side of the road with an air bag problem. The quick diagnostic to tell if you have an airbag leak vs other problems such as out of adjustment height control valve or stuck travel solenoid valve is to put the coach in leveling mode. If it will raise, then the air bags are intact.
Also, if you have unfortunately blown an air bag and need to limp to safety with the wooden suspension trick, you MUST disconnect the travel solenoid on the six pack on the side that is the problem. If you don’t your compressor will not build sufficient pressure to safely operate the coach. The travel solenoids are the ones closest to the bulkhead the six pack in mounted onto. Left is on top, right is on bottom.
