Bob, should air up at pretty much any air temperature, we are just across the border, you were at almost 78 degrees over the weekend, looks like it is leaning to the passenger side,air it up again,  move the coach out of the shelter see what happens.

Bob,

Some good advice above.  You can try the HWH air leveling reset switch.  It should be on the drivers left side console all the way back.  You can also tap AIR once on the HWH control panel then press the up arrow on the right side to see if that will raise it.   

In the end you're going to need to make some ramps out of 2"x10" lumber stacked about three high.  Then drive the coach up onto them.   This should give you enough clearance to get underneath.  The ride height valves are pretty simple and occasionally the small linkage to them becomes disconnected.  You should have two ride height valves on the rear and one on the front.  

Good luck!

That is great advise also, I will try this thanks.  I am going to back it out and retry, then build some ramps.  I really want to pour concrete with a pit in the middle just for times like this.

Is the front airing up as expected? If it is just the rear, it is likely a bad ride height valve. I had the problem last Summer on my Monaco Dynasty and had to change that valve to get the passenger side to air up. 

Only the driver side aired up, passenger side did not air up at all.  Care to share where to buy the valve??

I read and re read your post and I think I’m still confused.  
The left gauge has both air tanks on the needle gauge (green and red) and the right gauge is the boost, which probably wasn’t moving because you were at idle.  
Are you meaning the left side airbags filled up only and now the coach leans because the right side didn’t air up?

Yes

Call me stupid, 5 second video with no sound is all that tells me.

 

zoomed in says absorption? Flashing lights mean a fault code is logged?

Just wondering if the light sequence should be telling me something??

What does this tell an educated owner?

Hi Bob, 

I’m Don, I’ve got an ‘05 HR Nav, too. I had an issue with my airbags letting air out of the right side when parked for more than a week. I believe there is a valve that separates the 2 sides and my mechanic changed it out and I’ve not had the problem since. You might have the same problem. As far as the gages, the air IS the left one, the right one is your turbo boost pressure. Keep an eye on the right one while climbing grades. Don’t let it peg, ask me how I know…I blew the turbo boot cover off mine in N. Idaho and had to get towed. Don’t do that either…I’ve had mine almost 4 years and have had lots of issues, but lots of fun, too. If you want send me a text 925-784-5165. I’m in NorCal. 

Thanks you sir, I am really will be trying to locate said valve and tap on it gently.  I am holding out that our deep freezer just ended and she just needs to warm up some.  I will keep you posted and thanks for the cell, I may very well be reaching out.

Hi all,

Last fall I purchased our HR Nav 45’ DD 60.  It was fine when parked late Sept of 22 after driving it home from KY to MN.  We finally came out of our deep freeze here in MN and I decided to fire the old beast up to day.  Cranked and started in under two seconds😎.  Bumped up the idle and went about my examination of how it survived a very brutal winter, it is under cover but open sides.  I watched it build some air on the left gauge, the right did not move.  So the driver side fully aired up, the passenger side never moved.   

I am hoping the old gal just needs a little more time to thaw out and will pop right up, i could not hear any audible air leaks but I was listening over th e sound of the DD 60 so IDK.  

Pointers on where to start are very much appreciated, again brand new coach to me so I have a very steep learning curve.  

Any central MN owners that would be interested in showing me around this amazing rig, I will pay for your time if need be.  

Think I might look into silver leaf.  LOL

To avoid return shipping charges to Bluefire, call your chassis manufacturer (i.e. 90% of coaches use either Freightliner or Roadmaster) to determine if you have J1708 6 pin, J1939 6 pin, or J1939 9 pin.  And yes, there are two 9 pin variants which are not compatible with each other. 

Called RevRV group, that was useless.  Think I will try Bluefire directly.

Not sure on HR, my ‘05 cayman has the 6 pin up front, 9 pin in the rear engine bay.  
Much more data available when connected to the rear 9 pin, however the Bluetooth signal isn’t strong enough to reliably work in drivers seat.  I managed to find a business that will make a custom length extension with the Deutz connectors, which I plan to do so that I have the 9 pin connection up front.  

That is a great idea. More to look into and reach. Thank you. 

Anyone happen to know how many pins an 05 HR Navigator plug has to hook up a BlueFire set up?  I’ve only had it for a couple months and I am out town for work and can’t go look. Thanks.
