A vehicle leveling system having an inlet cartridge with dessicant means therein for removing moisture from atmospheric air during a pump-up phase of operation wherein a compressor operated only in response to vehicle operation draws air from atmosphere through the dessicant means to remove moisture therefrom. During an exhaust phase of operation when the vehicle is stopped, the compressor no longer draws air through the dessicant means, the air is exhausted from the pressurized system back through the dessicant means for removing moisture therefrom. A vehicle component is located closely adjacent the cartridge for changing the temperature thereof from a reduced temperature during the intake phase of operation and to an elevated temperature at the exhaust phase of operation to provide an effective high temperature regenerative purge of the dessicant means during exhaust from the pressurized system when the vehicle is stopped.
