What is the correct air pressure on the air bags and corresponding ride height?(for the rear)

The PO installed shut off valves to isolate the bags from leaking down and I have yet to test the compressor(s). I know one works cause I heard it on the other day. I believe the second compressor is not working. I am a new owner and haven't had the courage to mess with the leveling system in fear that I will break something. (I level it at sites with wood-).

Currently there is 80PSI in each bag . I added 5 psi today to see what it would do to the height-it came right up about an inch or so. I ave not driven it since but before I added the 5psi it drove real nice and smooth, maybe a little bouncy in the rear (soft) when hitting dips.

I remember seeing somewhere on the discussions where to measure the ride height and 11.5 inches comes to mind as the measurement but I will take any and all advice as to what I should be running in the bags until I sort out the electro level system in the coach.

On a side note...I was driving on a call today and saw a blue coach with Arizona plates, I couldn't stop because I was on my way to an emergency. After the call I went looking for the coach and found the coach at Wal-mart.

Had a real nice conversation with the owner.

This is a great community....


Thanks again for the help
