Reportedly, 150 psi.
My coach is undoubtedly lighter than yours, but I reach full height of the suspension around 100 psi. I have pumped bags up to 120-125 psi on any number of occasions, and driven over some profoundly bumpy roads. But there is no need to pump them up higher than the maximum suspension height--any more and you just put more stress on the extension of the shock absorber.
