I dump the air on mine when doing short turn arounds such as backing and going forward to turn around in a tight area. My coach does not drop low to the ground like yours does so I suspect that something may be causing the air from your drive axcel to go down with the tag. My friend who runs a bus repair shop discovered that the a laterel arm shock that is up above the tag was in need replacement and he stated to me that it was worn out from not releasing the air when making sharp turns at slow speeds. I used to keep my coach in building behind my house and every I took it out I had to back it out and turn it around in a very short area which took several back and forward moves to get it done. When I drop the air in the tag it makes a major difference in the turning radius. We had to have a new lateral shop made at CATCO which sells and makes truck parts.
