I know there have been questions about operating pressures in the Sullybilt air bag system and I have finally gotten around to checking since installing my shraders and shut off valves. My 77 Royale with no water in fresh or holding tanks registered 28 lbs on the tank side (right) and 33 pounds on the 6kw onan side after self leveling in travel mode on flat concrete. I was also curious if the Sullybilt bag would need to be vented of pressure when lifting to prevent shock damage. I lifted the right side from the bogie bracket until both tires were off of the ground and still had 20 lbs in that bag therefore I would recommend unloading the bag pressure as coach is lifted from bogie to prevent shock absorber damage.

The initial pressure numbers of roughly 60 psi were obtained by looking at the gauge on the pump as at that time I had no way to isolate the individual bags.

Sully:

I can confirm those numbers.

I run about 40 on one side, and 38 or so on the other.
