Bouncing Birdie
Several weeks ago I made a run to IL from Tn and back. I encountered a problem
I've not heard about or experienced.

On the highway I crossed an overpass with a rather abrupt transition. The coach
hit hard and my drivers chair bottomed out. Not to unusual. But this time the
suspension warning light & alarm came on. I pulled over as soon as I could to
check out the problem. Everything appeared normal and within a minuet or so the
alarm went out on it's own. I guessed that perhaps the bump had compressed the
suspension enough to activate the alarm, maybe it was a real big bump.

It happened several more times that day, with it occurring in know stretches of
interstate, that have never posed any such problems in the past. With it getting
progressively worse. Small bumps would get the coach porpoising.

Stopped several times, I dumped and aired up the suspension several times to see
if it was working and she aired up fine until the next bump in the road . Any
ideas???

I'm thinking it's the air valve for the front suspension. Maybe the actuator arm
is bent, broke or the valve itself is malfunctioning. I'm hoping it's not much
more.

Any help would be great.
