Dump ONLY the front air? - one_dusty_hoot - 05-31-2006 04:21
My driveway inclines from the street. The grade was
cut down about 2 feet and repaved for my other coach.
This new-to-me 35' has considerable overhang aft of
the rear wheels so the rollers (one stuck)roll about
two feet lifting the rear.
It is half full of diesel and propane now so when more
weight is added with water,fuel,belongings it has got
to drop lower.
I'm thinking two solenoid exhaust valves set to a pre-
set pressure reduction might drop the front raising the
rear.
All comments appreciated.(about the stuck roller too)

Hi Bob,
I've seen several coaches that have been set up so you can over-
inflate the rear bags, front or both for just the situation you
have. You use additional solinoid valves to bypass the regulated air
to the axle. Caution must be used as the driveshaft angle will be
increased drastically on a pusher, not so much on an FC. The setup I
saw had both front and rear as he owner had difficulty with ramps
for the ferry boat that was used frequently. In talking with a tech
at Bleakley, I was told that it is a relatively simple job to add
the extra valves and switches.

Should it drop lower? I figure the level adjusters should keep it level within
the weight limitations of the air springs. I have not measured mine in both
extremes, but I installed air springs in place of the leafs on my F350 and the
level adjusters adjust for any load I place in the bed. I can even over ride the
leveler and put a little more in to get more clearance, if need be.
