Hi all, I'm new to my 2000 Pleasure-Way Excel Rd and am unsure of what the front and rear tire pressure should be as well as how much air pressure should be in the air bag suspension. I'm hoping someone with a similar van to mine would help.

We have a PW Excel 2008, on a F-350- V10 chassis front 60# rear 80# - air bags @55-60 # We found out you just have to adjust the air till you get the best handling for your unit. It can make a big differents. Good luck

WE have a 2006 PW Excell TS and I keep our tire pressures at 80# rearand 60# front. As far as airbags it depends on how much STUFF you are carring we have aRola Storage pop on bac k hitch so I typically carry between 603-90#s.

Thank you all who have responded.
More information, my tires are Michelin Lt 245/75 R16 E
Written on the inside driver door states Cold front 55psi and rear 65psi. So I am looking for a consensus as to which is best for my vehicle. So please keep the comments coming.

We had a 2001 PW Excel on the Dodge 3500 chassis, it was a great unit; kept the pressures about the same retraite shown up above. It was a fine motorhome and got good gas mileage and easy to drive, never had any problems; PW's are well built; you will enjoy yours.

While our PW is a Lexor rather than an Excel (so Chevrolet rather than Ford), we usually run 40 to 50 PSI in the bags; 65 PSI front tires and 80 PSI rear tires.

Cheers.


Thanks for your reply, it also reminded me that I should have mentioned that my PW is a Dodge 3500 van if this makes a difference.

I had a 2003 PW Excel and I kept 50 psi in the airbags. Tire pressure whatever was recommended on the inside of the door. Seems it was lower in front and higher in rear.
