I have found that I normally set the air pressure to go on a trip and forget
it. My load does not change when driving. My air compressor would cycle on
and off due to leak back in the heads. So installed a switch. In my current
project coach, a 75-26' Avion, I installed a new one bagger from Applied and
have found that I need 35 to 40 lbs pressure to give me the ride height I
want on the road. The only time I touch the pressure is in a campsite to
level. Rather than tackle the compressor/tank/connections/valves issue on
the coach: I have installed the shutoffs-schrader valve combos at each axle
and carry a battery powered hand compressor. It takes me only a short amount
of time to set my desired levels to camp or travel, at a cost of under $100
for both battery and compressor and I have a portable tool to do other
things that need air as well.
