If the rig is sitting for a while, is it normal for the airbags bleed down?? How long does it usually take??

We have parked and occupied the rig for a month with no loss of air leveling other than slight adjustments by the computer.

It can be easly fixed to do the same as those who already posted. If it leaks off overnight, it has a leak somewhere. Find the leak and fix it.

I noticed a loss of air bag inflation, that got progressively faster. It used to take a week or so to bleed down onto the stops, faster in cold weather, then this year it would be down in a few hours. While the owners manual says bleed down is to be expected, I thought something was leaking. It turned out to be the solenoid/air valve that dumps air as the levelers are activated. A new valve, (or a rebuild kit), fixed it !! No leak down for week after week in 35 deg temps. It also holds more pressure, which helps the shocks & ride a lot.
