If your sure that it is running and not changing modes then you have a small leak. The dealer can put it into plant mode and test it for leaks.

It's not that it randomly comes on, but you will see and hear it adjust the suspension height. It will stop adding air to the bags and then start the compressor. If the system were closed this wouldn't happen. Instead, after it feeds the bags with the reservoir it then uses the compressor to refill the reservoir with air from the atmospehere.

It will also occasionally do it's high pressure purge after startup and then run the compressor, as the high pressure purge must put the tank below the cut-in pressure.

I am confident that I don't have any leaks, as Dad's 17 operates identically to mine. No faults, no codes, no issues... just once confusing blerb and dealerships calling it closed.

I am also confident that it's not a closed system in the normal sense of closed system, as it does not operate like one on either of our trucks. It uses the high pressure stored air in the reservoir to fill the bags when more air is needed, it then refills the reservoir with the compressor. It's very obvious that it's doing this if you watch and listen as it inflates the bags. I also have not ever noticed the compressor running when it deflates the bags to move the bag air into the reservoir, but I also haven't noticed it doing a high pressure purge to deflate the bags. I'll pay more attention to this soon.

So are you saying that it comes charged with nitrogen, but can eventually be replaced with air, what’s the point of even using nitrogen?

Nitrogen is likely called for for being drier and fewer impurities, thou air is mostly nitrogen anyways.

Then why would I have never heard my compressor even run?

How well do your ears work? lol

Dad said he's never heard his run either, but I hear it just the same as mine. Once he asked what a noise was and I tell him it's his suspension, but 99% of the time he doesn't hear/notice it. What he heard was the bags inflating when we were standing by the bed hooking up a trailer.

Mine does have a vent tucked into the passenger side front bed.

 

[SnoKing]

Ron, where is the vent line attached to the system?

 

[Cummins12V98]

Now yer expecting me to crawl under there again.

You should have a magic creeper!!

 

[gsbrockman]

You should have an AMZ/OIL creeper!!

That’s better.....

 

[SnoKing]

That’s better.....

There you go again.

 

[Cummins12V98]

What the HE!! else does he have to do??? Deliver trailers drive back load and deliver again. Now we get to do any damn thing we want like simply enjoy 80 degree weather.

OH, I went on a nice WARM Motorcycle ride yesterday of over 200 miles. stopped 1/2 way had a COLD beer and a great Tri Tip sandwich.

Went to an annual open house at an RV dealer in Surprise, and pulled in the parking lot to find a '19 dually HO/Aisin pulling a dandy New Horizons Majestic toy hauler. Beautiful coach! He was waiting to get to the dump station, so I bent his ear for a minute. Said towing mpg around 10. I'd be pleased with that. He also said he gets the dreaded 2-1 slam shift I have been battling.

 

[Cummins12V98]

I guarantee you the "around 10" is a VERY optimistic number. Sure I have gotten 10 and even 10.5 but i also get 7.5 and above for an honest 9-9.5 hand calc mpg average.

I am at 34k combined and I will bet he is at that and most likely much more. I tow at 60 to get what I do.

New Horizons are VERY HEAVY!!!

That’s a purdy toy box there.

 

[Cummins12V98]

Same ol same ol. Kidding GS and then the Peanut Gallery has to chime in with a PM. I have asked to be left alone!!!

"After seeing your reply about Greg, and the motorcycle ride , I do have to say you are truly a Prick with ears. Some do have to still work for a living ."

WOULD YOU ALL PLEASE STOP BEATING ON EACH OTHER - YOU ALL DESTROY EVERY RUNNING THREAD RIGHT NOW.

STOP THAT - ALL OF YOU.
THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO IN A FIGHT. BOTH CAN STOP.

 

[dieselshadow]

I like a little bit of butter in my popcorn. Not too much though.

Seriously guys, share your opinions, be respectful if you disagree, move on. It’s easy. No need for the back and forth and the beating on each other. We are all adults and can respect and agree to disagree at times.

Let’s not chase new folks away from here or derail people’s threads to the point they leave. That’s not conducive to a healthy forum.

I SO want one of these:
http://aluminumtoyhauler.com/ATC-Toy-Hauler-5th-Wheel.html

All aluminum, can carry a 4dr Wrangler, and no laminate, no wood to rot, and highest cargo weight capacity. My wife don't like it. Our anniversary is 13 Nov, I could surprise her, but I'm skeered.

Anyhoo, wished I'd seen this when I was shopping for the Cyclone, the one before our current DRV Mobile Suites.

Cheers, Ron

Hey I have tried to ignore him and don’t quote his posts. I agree this is pathetic. I have asked many times to not respond to me but it simply does me no good. It gets old to have a negative comment on every single post I make.
I hoped by posting the PM he may get the idea and simply leave me alone. It’s the same on RV.net.
Sorry guys.

I must have got one of the really bad trucks. I averaged 11.6 for 7,600 miles to CMEP event this summer hand calculated. The 19 truck can't be that much better, and I was towing a measly 5,700 lbs.
