Class C airbag rear suspension help
I got a Firestone Ride Rite kit for the C, got the airbags installed ( what a pain ) and the kit also came with the onboard compressor etc. Having a hard time figuring out where to mount the compress...

I think so. But try this just to be sure.
Start with empty air bags and the dinette seat cover in place.
Fill the air bags.
Pull seat cover and -carefully- determine if compressor has heated the air in the compartment. Is the compressor warm?
Overheating risk involved if system develops a serious leak while driving. I "sure" would like an unobtrusive LED alert on the dash telling me whether or not the compressor is running. Once pumped up this system should require very little makeup air.
I NEVER connect direct to the battery so the compressor chooses when it wants to run. A relay is ignition triggered. This allows unwanted airbag overnight pressure bleed down to be known upon starting the vehicle.
