Ridewell down in the front.

[ac7880]

On the 83 Fc35 I owned previously, I had the exact opposite problem.
The rear air bags lost pressure in a couple of hours. In my case, it
was the two rear air leveler valves. I bought new ones from BB,
problem solved.

I may be your single air leveler valve, right in the middle by the
front axle. Since it is under the coach, maybe you can't hear it,
and if your jacks are down, it changes the leveler valve height
setting.
