This site is driving me crazy. Way too much information to absorb. I thought I was past all that 
All this talk of alignment got me thinking. Now keep in mind I've had my coach (77 Eleganza II stock suspension, Electro Level II)for a couple months and have only driven it a hundred miles or so. However, when I drove it home it wandered all over the ruts. That said, I did not 'set' the ride height and really don't have any idea what settings the ride height buttons were on.
What I THINK I've learned is that the wander COULD well have been caused by having the rear end too high, resulting in decreased caster.
I understand from reading here and in the manual that if everything is working correctly with the Electro Level II system, and if I follow the directions for operations, the coach should move to the set level and stay there (if I set the switches right). Assuming the level thingies are adjusted correctly, this should ensure my coach is at the proper ride height. Right?
Ok, so if that is correct I'll be good to go. However, I got to thinking (always a dangerous thing for me because it makes me want to tinker). Is there a direct relationship between air bag PSI and right height. That is, if we put a TEE in the air lines going to the bags and ran them up to a couple gauges in the cockpit, would the PSI readings be a fairly accurate measurement of ride height? That is, assuming some minor variation for temperature and cold bags, is X PSI always going be the same for a given ride height?
Or am I just over thinking things as usual?
