dump air bags before leveling?

[wdbates]

Have a question's
do you dump the airbags when leveling?
Do you dump air bags when not in use?
06 chassis havent weighed it yet but feal the road in sterring wheel quite a bit at 95psi. Will this improve when I correct pressure to actual weight? GOODYEAR tires...thanks

In my case if I don't dump the air before leveling the jacks will not touch the ground and I was told by the dealer to dump the air before leveling. I dump the air if I am going to stopped for an extended period of time.

Always dump the air before leveling.
If you do not there are safety levers on the front and rear air bags that will open and dump the air as the coach is going up.
If my motorhome is not in use and is always stored at home the air is dumped and coach leveled,shore power connected,frig. on.
Tire pressure,I go by what the coach manufacture says on the vin sticker.

My Freightliner has auto jacks and the first thing you hear is the air being dumped then the jacks down and start leveling unit. Makes sense to me that air needs to be dumped before you get leveled.

We have auto leveling jacks and they also dump the air when leveling.

I do not dump the air when in storage. The air does bleed down on it's own but takes about two weeks to be completely deflated.

This is our second Freightliner chassis coach and used the same procedure on both. Never had a problem with either....knock on wood.

My Monaco Diplomat also releases the air when I extend the leveling jacks. I don't air down between trips. AFAIK, it's o.k. either way.

My guess is that after you weigh it you will find that your are about 10 psi over what it should be, that will make a big difference in handling and feel.

What size are the tires?

Tires are 255/70/22.5 goodyear g670...I think air pressure too but I will have it weighed and start from there...I was tould that oem shocks were very rough...thanks

Our HWH panel will not allow the jacks to be extended without dumping air first. The air dump is actually integrated into the HWH system. As soon as I turn the panel on to level, the air automatically dumps.
