Certainly happy to hear the issue is fixed, Fred. As to the remaining fitting leaks, others here have replaced their factory ones with an improved version. I’ve thought that the next time I’m at Henderson’s or somewhere I might ask them to retrofit as many as is financially practical. Not having seen the complete underside personally very often and searched out fittings hundreds of times like they have, I’m not sure I could find them all and do it easily myself, crawling around on the ground.
As I recall the originals are plastic and leak-prone, whereas the better choice is a ferrule and sleeve and insert fitting something like was recently herein described for fuel lines. Others here can correct my memory on that, and perhaps provide references or links to the replacement they used.
Leakdowns seem common to every coach and even the slowest ones are a confoundment, especially to new owners that see it as a bigger issue than it usually turns out to be. But even long-timers consider slowleak-patching a worthwhile endeavor if not too time-consuming, or if one knows precisely where a leak emanates. Having faith that one can park in a particular aired up position and return much later to find it still the same, with no windshield-threatening twist and without undo wear and tear on the auxiliary pump, is a commendable goal.
I learned the hard way to store on relatively flat ground, flat in at least one direction anyway, and dump the bags almost all the way down.
