Use of air bags
I have a F350 with the truck camper certification. Prior to purchasing a used Lance 915, I installed an air bag kit, thinking that it would be needed.
When the TC was installed for the first time, the truck's over-ride leaf springs didn't touch the bracket on the frame, but did come within an inch or so. The salesman commented that the air bags weren't needed for this particular set-up, but added some air to them anyway. I think that he was trying make me feel good about installing them!
Since that time, I have always added 30 pounds or so of air in the bags because the instructions indicate that the must be a minimum amount of air in them.
When driving down the road, I find that the truck tends to rock back and forth a bit. I was wondering if I would be better off allowing the truck to ride on its own suspension (leaf springs) rather that's assisting with the air bags.
Any suggestions or experience with this condition?
Thanks!
