Land Yacht Air Bag Problem HELP!!

Yesterday I got my MH out of storage to get it ready for this weekend's trip. After I got it in the driveway to start cleaning and prepping, I set the automatic jacks to level it out. I tried to start the genset and was having problems when I noticed that the gas tank was about a 1/4, so I thought maybe that was the culprit. I then decided to run up to the gas station...(story is getting long already). Being the idiot that I am, I hit the button to pull the jacks up so I could leave. Unfortunately, I didn't wait for the driver's side rear jack to retract when the coach rocked backwards. I then pulled forward and it did retract. Thinking that I may have screwed up the leveling system I reset the jacks to see if they were damaged. They seemed to operate fine until the coach began to move backwards while it was in park, my foot was on the brake, and the autobrake was set. I immediately hit the retract button on the jacks without thinking and they began to retract again except I did have to pull forward again because the driver's side jack was cocked. Now to the real question at hand...besides the possible damage to the leveling system the rear of the coach is now almost dragging the ground. When I start the engine I hear the compressor running but the rear end does not raise. It is so low that the driver's side mudflap is dragging the ground. The driver's side is lower and both bags are hard as rocks. I have called two dealers and Airstream and they cannot answer if there is a manual way to set the bags or a reset of some sort or if I have screwed up the air ride system. Sorry for rambling so long but I am trying to give all the details that I can think of for anyone on this forum to possible help. My coach is a 1994 Land Yacht 33'

Thanks,
Gary
