Thanks Steve! We did finally figure that out also - there must be a one-way valve in the system that keeps the air seals up. The seals never lost air...
As long as we have owned this coach we have not really had big air issues - maybe they are catching up with us. I ran the 110V air compressor until the coach supply side filled and then switched to the 12v - will see how often it runs since we can (barely) hear it in the bathroom. Learn something new everyday with these things!
BTW, I think we are fine for now. Will get part numbers from Newell for both the supply and brake valves since the front valve (can’t remember the name off-hand) also had issues and will find a shop to replace both at the same time (hopefully). The front valve does not look like fun to change...
