New Rig

Hi all finally got the new rig and love it! Have a couple quick questions......
First love the love the trailair but is it normal to have to air it up every time you hitch up? Seems to loose air quite quickly.(overnight)
Does anyone know where the water shut off and drain are for the refrigerator?
Thanks !

Check the trailair air fitting. Mine was doing the same thing. I retaped it with Teflon. No longer looses air.

The water shut off for the refrigerator is a 1/4 line with a push button valve. Normally just behind the rear axle under the slide. Where the refrigerator is. Just follow the water line before it turns up and you should see the valve.

Thanks for your replies! I have looked everywhere on the fridge side under the coach and can not find a waterline anywhere. Did find a drain hose under where the fridge is I'm hoping it's for that. Any other thoughts on waterline location?
Thanks!

It took awhile to figure out. It is small and I just looked under the slide where the ref is and followed the line from under the ref until I found the valve.

Look behind the wheels, sometime you miss seeing it back there

Use heavy soapy water to check for air leaks on the pin box. As stated by previous poster, valve stem likely culprit. My Trail Air only needs air before leaving on a 2 week run. I keep mine on a site and over time, sssssssss [emoji102]ever so slooooowwwllllyyyy

The valve stem was leaking on my TrailAir, once I stopped the leak everything works great now. I hardly ever have to add air. I think on my Alaska trip I only added air once or twice.

Thanks all took out the valve wrapped it in teflon and now it holds air! I did find what I think is the water valve behind the back axle along with a drain tube that I assume is for the fridge as well.
