Ride Height

[smquandt]

Don

I just repeated the following and against my better judgement stuck
my head under the coach to be sure that the rears were not inflated
when the suspension switch only was on starting at a 100% dump:

1. Air up suspension only, front comes up, rear moves small
amount, similar to Mike's measurement

2. Air up tags, rear goes to ride height.

3. Dump tags, rear goes down about 1" from ride height with all
weight on drives only.

4. Dump suspension coach goes to bottom.

5. Got to #1 to repeat test

Rears definitley are not inflating until the TAG switch is turned on!

and have been in some tight campgrounds this trip, so I've tried to
be conscientious about leaving the tag un-aired when departing; I've
noted how low the rear was when I hooked my toad up. It does not drop
when the tag is deflated on arrival.

Like Steve, I have repeated this process quite a few times over the
last several weeks since I noticed it shortly after purchasing the
coach. And in each case, the same thing occurs, just as Steve has
explained it. The drive axle bags are full and hard before the tags
are brought up as I have verified several times over the last month
or so.
