The previous owner installed a leveling system with a valve and gauge for each corner. No leveling valves.
The air bags would typically stay up for months.

After doing an extensive brake job, removing the brake cans, air lines and replacing etc., the air bags on the driver's side rear seem to deflate over just a few days.

I didn't really disturb the air lines to the suspension system and I don't believe there is a connection between the brake air and the suspension air?
Just a coincidence?
Thanks, Iver.

Iver, air the coach up and get some sudsy stuff or leak detector and spray everything down and keep looking you will find it. I had an air bag that had been repaired like a tire and finally found a pin hole in it and then it was fun from there getting it all out.

You could be experiancing a thermal intermittent problem..........it will leak when the temp drops when it previously did not.

Also.

The air pressure situation is not a static one. It continues to change and you need to be continuing to chase it.

You may very well not have done anything adversly with your repair.
