Winnebago added these air bags to the vehicle. The bags themselves are made by Firestone, but cannot be purchased from them. The entire kit is made by 3T's RV In Lake Havasu, AZ. http://www.3tsrv.com/index.html
The bags indeed have a max pressure of 100 psi and generally need 40 to 50 psi for normal loads and driving. You should keep some pressure in them at all times or it will damage the bags. Given the age of the bags, they are probably bad. If they don't hold air, 3T sells only the bags including the Schrader valve and tubing as a replacement kit. I replaced both of mine about two years ago.
Properly inflated bags make a huge difference in the way this vehicle drives, if they don't hold air, get them fixed.
