Brett, you are right now that I think about it. The bags closest to the suspension mounting points to the frame/ body make sense.

Issue resolved.  Studied the trouble shooting procedures last night.  No blown travel fuse, had power at the travel solenoids and one coil had very high resistance reading.  My assumption was that was my solenoid.  Great and simple advice to check the coils Red Tractor gave was to turn the key to the on position and touch the stem with a screw driver.  If the coil is working it will be magnetic.  Touched one it was good, touched the one with high resistance and no magnetism.  Problem found.  Now I'm off to get a coil from red tractor and finish the job.  He has been a great help.  Thank you all for your suggestions and help.  It's nice to have this resource to go for help. 

After the job is done I need to see about some yoga classes.  Not easy to twist and turn up front to get to the six pack. 😁😎

Well I installed the coil today and the coach came up as it should.  I measured the coach height on the front bags of the rear and the rear bags of the front.  I made the gauge Barry shows in BeamAlarm to the 8" dimension and notched out a 1/4" on one side. The bags were all in the 8 1/4" setting.  Thanks Barry for the infomation on BeamAlarm and again thank you to this forum.

Just a tidbit, I know I am preaching to some of the choir.
Anyone having this issue, be careful, I split my windshield from top to bottom because of a bad ride height solenoid.
You need to carry one of two with you at all times.
I lost one in the middle of the desert last year, with no cell service.
Fortunately I add a spare with me.
I get mine here, in stock, great price, will ship them ASAP wherever you are

I agree.  I was lucky my windshield did not split.  I was told by Red Tractor that I could have raised it manually and it would have stayed till I got home.

Thanks for the reminder.
