It appears to moi that the bags air connections may leak right out of the
package, mine did, but were easily fixed w/ another new Schrader valve &
making sure your connections to the bags & valve are done properly. Once
corrected my bags held pressure all Winter & until just recently, I didn't
even add air.  Now that I am going to pull the Titanic out of drydock & set
sail for Buses By The Buoy & Transporter Fest next month, I will be
fiddling w/ the bags as needed to adjust the ride. BTW, the instructions
come w/ warnings on making sure the connections don't leak & to keep a
minimum pressure of 5 psi in the bags at all times or the bags will get
damaged-YMMV
For Eric, the bags look like the connection is on the bottom or top, but in
reality, the bag is installed w/ the seam facing up/ down, not
horizontally, so the connection to the hose goes out the side between the
coils.  The bags are very tough & will expand up & down to fill the coil
space even though it looks like the seams should be perpendicular to the
major direction of inflation.  YMMV
