Air ride with 8 bagz

.Hello. I need some education please. I have a 1996 Monaco Dynasty and have been trying to educate myself on my RV having an air system with 8 bags. What does this mean? How does it work? Is there maintenance involved? How will I know if I have an issue? Been looking on the internet for information on this subject but I just can't get a clear understanding. Can someone please inform me as I am trying to understand. Thank you.

    Maintenance includes servicing the air dryer and checking ride height-- same as any coach with air suspension.

    Yes, if you need to buy air bags, shocks, etc, you have more of them!

    That means there is 8 air bags in the suspension system. you probably have 4 per axle. They assist and support the shocks by smoothing out the ride. There are sensors that sense the height of the body of your coach in relation to the axles and keep it at a uniform pre-set height. They make your ride smoother. They may also level your coach while camping if you have air leveling. The only maintenance I know of is maintaining the air drier in the compressed air system that supplies air to the system.
