This is my first MH and new to the air bags, when in storage do you air up suspenision or dump? I have a 2009 Cross Country with a FL chassis it appears to have the Neway suspension. Will be attending the Camp FL this summer but would like a heads up before then.

My suggestion is to dump. The air pressure may leak over time anyway.
Livin' the dream!

Thanks wasn't sure. Looking forward to the FL classes and that will be our first trip in it. Anything should I really need to check besides the regular things like fluid levels and tire pressure? Thanks Jim

I would leave them filled. Keep them at their 'normal' shape as long as possible. Of course the system will bleed out over time (maybe over a couple days, or over a couple weeks).
You don't let all the air out of the tires during storage do you? They will leak air out over time...

They don't put a dump switch on tires. Completely different animal.

I let the air out, then extend the jacks.

I dump the air and put jacks down when in storage.

Dump the air and put down the jacks. Much easier on the bags and tires. Besides, as was said, the air will leak out anyway.
Side benifit, the step will be closer to the ground.
