Try and find out at what pressure the compressor comes in at,may be a problem with the cut-in and cut-out pressures on the 12
volt compressor.

How would I do that?

Watch the gauge you put in and the pressure should drop as air leaks from the system.

pressure usually set to come on about 65 psi and cut out at about 85 psi.

Dan,

I was able to operate my slide, with the aux turned off, for the balance of our travels. If I understand everything that was explained here, I guess I had a leak in a check valve, as I always ran the engine while operating the slide. The trip included Quartzite, Mexico, southern Cal, and then to Moscow, Iowa, where I had to have a new seal installed due to a "pinhole" leak in my bladder. While I was at HWH, I had them go over my aux compressor, and explained EVERYTHING to them. I must have said " leaking check valves" half a dozen times, and asked how we could determine if they needed t be replaced. They worked on another part of the aux compressor, replaced a solenoid looking part, and it seems to be working ok. I don't know what else to say at this point in tie but will monitor the situation and update this as time goes on. Thanks to everyone who helped me with this issue. You all were very helpful and supportive.

time was about coach age that would get that bladder leak.....as did I, explained in thread about year ago.      was hard to find the leak, recall MOT was not sure at first I was right about the leak as it would seem to self-close and miss it with the bubbles.

glad you ok

Just competed a 10,000 mile USA trip with the aux compressor disabled. The coach has no slides. The compressor was running continuously when the coach was very unlevel, so I pulled the power.

Once HWH leveled the coach with the engine running, I turned HWH off and the coach remained level enough for a weeks worth of camping. The coach would list a little bit over a weeks worth of camping, but it was almost unnoticeable.

Now that I am back home, troubleshooting can begin. However, I am not sure if I want the aux compressor engaging while I am sleeping.

Glenn, I don't have the air system schematic for your build number but if it is like mine and there are no check valve leaks the HWH bladder tank (which is the only thing that feeds the bladder manifold) can only get air from the HWH compressor.

No check valve leaks is the key thing here.  Hving the engine pressureize this tank would be OK from my point of view.

you might run the positive wire up into the coach with a simple switch in the coach and then run the wire back down to the pump - in that way you could shut off and back on the pump from inside the coach whenever you wanted.
