 I have an 83 35FC. The left side loses air pressure at low idle. At high idle, or going down the road, the coach is level, but when we stop the left side dips down. Any suggestions?

Yes Walt, fix it before driving it. The air-brake system is allowed to lose 5psi every 2minutes, more than that is not legal.

You likely have a leaky air-bag or leveling valve. Block the coach up so that it doesn't lower on you, pressurize the air system (preferrably using an outside air source), and crawl around looking for leaks.

Air bags are much cheaper from a truck parts dealer than through BlueBird.
