Trailer air bag over inflated - medseg2003 - 06-18-2022
Hello everyone,
I have a 2020 greatdane champion trailer. Lately I install weight gauge in my trailer.i remember that I took the air leveling valve a part when I tried to release air from air bags. When done from installing weigh gauge I put everything back together. Since then I didn't drive for 5 months truck and trailer never moved. now I turn truck on and supply air to the trailer it just keep getting higher air bag almost gone a explode and start leaking air from the bottom of the air bag.
Is this can be a bad air valve even if it s a new trailer. Or I put it back wrong? Please help thx . [attachment=8438][attachment=8438]

Take the leveling valve rod out and operate the valves arm by hand and see if you can lower the trailer airbag air pressure. If you can lower the trailer I suspect the leveling valve arm may be out of adjustment.
Can you take a pic of the leveling valve from a side view so I can see the angle of the arm?

shouldn't that levelling valve be mounted straight and not at a 45-deg angles like that?

Sorry I did not see your message. I had a feeling that the leveling valve was out of place. Glad you got it fixed.
