We have a new-to-us 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun 317SA that has the Firestone Ride Rite airbags on the rear. We use the MH for general camping as well as Jeep off-roading where we pull the Jeep on a trailer.

What is the correct way to use the air bags? The instructions are very vague with no specifics or guidelines for proper psi or how to gauge proper inflation. Anyone use these on a regular basis and have some "rules of thumb" or procedures they use to set up correctly? I know i will have to vary the set-up between regular and trailer use.

Just to keep the conversation on track - I am very familiar with GVWR etc. and weigh the loaded rig regularly, do not exceed the ratings for total, axle, tongue weights etc. Also have been down the road of flat tow vs trailer and found the trailer fits our needs for hauling our rig.

Any advice appreciated.

I have airbags on my 3/4 ton, obviously completely different vehicles but same idea. I run them at 25 psi unloaded to keep them from bottoming out. After I have the trailer loaded, I'll air up the bags so that the trailer is a little lower in the front than the rear, to keep weight on the hitch. I've towed 11k and I think the airbags were at 60 psi.
