Guidelines for adding air:

1.  Start with the vehicle level or slightly above.

2.  When in doubt, always add air.

3.  For motorhomes, start with 50-100 p.s.i. in the rear because it can be safely assumed that it is heavily loaded.

4.  If the front of the vehicle dives while braking, increase the pressure in the front air bags, if equipped.

5.  If it is ever suspected that the air bags have bottomed out, increase the pressure (fi g. 3).

6.  Adjust the pressure up and down to fi nd the best ride.

7.  If the vehicle rocks and rolls, adjust the air pressure up and down to reduce the rocking and rolling.

8.  It may be necessary to maintain different pressures on each side of the vehicle. Loads such as water, fuel, 

and appliances will cause the vehicle to be heavier on one side (fi g. 4). As much as a 50 p.s.i. difference is not 
uncommon.
