After airing up the suspension (air springs), the front and the rear of the coach height is about 2" taller than normal. Suspension was cycled three times and no change. I doubt the 3 ride-height valves would go bad at the same time. Thoughts?

It is just taller ??? This is odd ???

If the coach is still level,
I would suggest, that Curt is shorter, ( shrinking)??

Curt: I had that happen just on the front one time. Actually, one side was a bit higher than the other. I drove it around the block and it settled down. I do not know why.?? It has not done it again.
I cannot see that it will hurt anything to try.
But like GregO says, it ain't the effect or symptom, it's what created it..

Curt:

Some times the ride height valves need to go to the negative side then
return to the positive this resets the setting back to normal. Try
undocking and take a tour around the block then another block with right
and left turns and see if this corrects the problem. I agree, it is odd
they would all fail at the same time but then Murphy says" if it can
happen it will.?"

More Info...The height issue started a couple weeks back. Since then
the suspension has been lowered and raised several times, and the coach
has been driven a hundred miles, turning many corners, etc. All during
this time, when the suspension was aired up, it stood too tall. I just
now went out and cycled the suspension. When aired up it still stands
about 2" higher than normal.

Curt there is an airpressure regulator involved and the only common denominator for all the air bags.

Right you are Rob. I picked up an Haldex pressure regulator. Now to get it installed.

Greg, is it OK if I come out and use your pit?

Curt I'd like to take the credit but can't. I passed your problem by Randy Dupree and it was his expertise that came up with the solution.

stack of trench plates by my bus. I got to get past the design and
just dig the hole. gunite and steel are paid for in swaps. kinda the
reason I have two gunite swimmingpools.
