My recommendation is to have the bags at 5 psi, and measure the height of the rear wheel wells. Then load the camper, start adding air to the bags get so it's 1-2" lower than empty, assuming no level kit.

Get the bags at the pressure you want loaded and then record, then you can unload and see what the pressure drops to. That would be your empty pressure.
