Leveling system idea

[JackConrad]

I have my leveling system pressure regulated to about 85 psi. I could probably get a bit more if I raised it some, but I've heard you shouldn't put more than that in them. I haven't been able to confirm that, though. I'd sure hate to pop one.

Craig,
    That is the number I was given by Mohawk Industires.  I have noticed that our coach (with Mohawk rolling lobe air bags) reaches maximum lift at about 75-80, so more pressure would not help.  I think I get about 5" total from stops to full lift. 
    Because the air bags are closer side to side than front to rear, we can get more shift side to side than front to rear.  Whenever we park, we try to get the bus close to level front to rear and make most the correction side to side. Of course this is not always possible. Maybe we have been lucky, but we have parked in cow pasture and fields at Bluegrass Festivals and Antique Tractor Shows and have always been able to get the coach level enough to be acceptable.  Course, Florida is pretty flat & level to start with LOL  Jack

Hi

I've used my leveling system for 4 years now - I've never had a problem leveling my RTS

With my 35' RTS (non tag axle) - I can get EACH corner of the bus to deflect up to about a maximum 12" (that's max deflection of any one corner at a time - I did this as a test of my system) - yes I know that the air bags don't move 12" - but remember the pivot point is the wheels and with the overhang and inset in front and back of the bus the movement is AMPLIFIED (simple lever/fulcrum action).

As far as exceeding the recommended presures - Like jack said - about 85-90 psi in my RTS will give me max extention also - I also feel that my air bags go thru FAR MORE STRESS coming off a big dip on the parkway at 70 MPH.

I guess I've been lucky too. Only twice I have had to squeegy shower water back into the drain. When I get to a relatively flat area, I dump the air in my tags and the rear end of coach goes down until it stops which is usually pretty equall, then I dump my air in my kneeling feature and the front end drops down pretty equall to the rear! Pretty solid when you walk thru the coach and blood doesn't rush to your head while sleeping so all is good if all I have to do is a little squeegying now and again!

maybe I'll install turnbuckles for right now to see how it works. How's that for KISS?
