Rear air bags ... What psi should they be

After a 1/2 year of owning this new to me 2001 Fleetwood Flair 31A I just discovered two air nipples in the bay where my sewer and electrical are. There is a little plaque that states the air pressure must be maintained to a minimum amount, but that minimum amount of PSI is not stated. I put an air gauge to the nipples and both register zero psi. I called Fleetwood, they said that Ford would have installed the air bags and gave me the number to call, Ford says that Fleetwood would have installed the air bags so I should get the info from them. I gave up and have come here to ask the question. How much air psi should I put in those bags. Thanks Bill.

    If you post a picture of the plaque we may be able to recognize it and tell you what you have, even if there is no logo on it.

    Reneys Truck in Ocala FL did a front end alignment on my 1995 Bounder 34j and the tech said airbags are set by ride height specs by model so it does not change alignment.

    Going out to take the photo, it became very evident that the plaque tells me more than I first thought. On the plaque it says "equipped with Ride Rite Helper Springs" Firestone FSN-21-9015
