What the right amount of pressure in the Air Rite bags...carring a 2500 lb camper?

enough to level it. the more you add, the stiffer it will be.

 

You get ~50 lbs of support for each psi. So 50psi should put it where it was, empty. Craig

 

Ditto! I'm only running 15psi on mine w/2000# camper and Lorenz 2.25 setup. Less is better.

 

Thanks to RowJ for starting this thread for me and thanks for the replies.

I put the camper on the truck this morning and could not remember how much air I needed in the air bags. My truck carries the Lance Squire just fine, but wanted the air bags to take some of the roll out. I'm going to start out at about 60 psi (leveled) and see how it goes.

I forgot how far it is to step on the bumper to get into the camper. Tomorrow, I think I'll see if I can find a step to fit in the receiver hitch.

 

Personally, I pound 90-100 into mine.
It jacks the back up a little higher than I like it but it sure stops the roll in the bush or any twisty roads.

 

I could only get 70 psi in with my compressor. I stopped by Discount Tire and they pumped them up to 80. I the process, it turns out the passenger side bag has a slow leak. Now I have to take the wheel liner out (in the rain) to see what the problem is. On a good note, they definitely take most of the roll out.

 

I can't get to the air inlet on top of the bag without removing the whole thing. I don't have time to do that, so I was wondering if there is some kind of sealer that would work in these.
