Title: Dump airbags when in storage?
Post by: Benjie Zeller on January 11, 2012, 08:22:35 pm
Decided to not dump the air bags this time, and left the air supply tanks full.  I'll check in a couple weeks to check if there is any "listing".

Do you normally dump the air bags when in storage?  Is that recommended or just something you prefer to do?

I always dumped the air bags when in storage as well as letting all the air out of the storage tanks.  I just need to check the airbag leakage, if any...I'm sure these will deflate in time.  I disconnect all the batteries from ground when in storage.

In a previous post, there was a discussion that perhaps dumping the airbags may place pressure on the coach floor at the tire contact point from below.  I have not experienced any bowing of the floor where noticeable (at the front steer axle).
