I have a 95 Coachmen Catalina Class A. It's just a little guy 27', but it suits us fine for our weekend trips etc... During the past month I was installing a banks system to the coach and noticed under the hood, 2 valve stems sticking out of a plate of metal. I followed them down and found out that I have air bags under the front end. Hooda guessed?? I had air bags on my dodge when I had my fifth wheel, but they were on the back for added capacity and to avoid the rear end sag and sway. So do they do the same thing on the front?
What is the purpose for the airbags on the front? Is it suppose to help with the sway and wondering? I do have a lot of wondering with this coach, but I thought it was because it was a smaller coach with full basement, therefore was more top heavy and the wind effected it more? At any rate, can someone tell me the purpose of the bags, and what is the recommended pressure on them. On my truck I could run them between 5 - 65, but camping world couldn't tell me, and I haven't had much luck with any local dealers. So before I called the factory, I thought I would ask around.
Any assistance you can offer would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for this site, it has helped more than once.
