I've just fitted Dunlop air suspension to my Peugeot Boxer based moho however it doesn't come with any recommendations regarding air pressures other than Min 0.5 to max 7.0 Bar.
The van is currently plated at 3500kg and I'm planning to re-plate to 4100kg. Any ideas or suggestions regarding air pressures much appreciated.
Cheers.
 
Hi, on the motorhome we had with air assisted suspension I used to run it at 3 Bar and up to 6 Bar when going on and off steep ferry ramps.
 
It’s a case of trial and error to find what suits you and your motorhome best on my last one I ran it at 4 bar,
I have just ordered air suspension for my new one so will probably start at 4 bar and just keep making adjustments until I find what I feel is the best for me
 
Don't forget that you are still restricted to 2000kg on the back axle. The heavier chassis has twin back springs larger wheels and tyres and bigger brakes. Certainly not just a case of fitting air bags and replating.
 
45 psi normal or 50 psi if carrying bikes on rack.
It really is trail and error to get a pressure you are happy with.
My rear springs looked a bit flat with 10 psi, recommended pressure when not in use for longer than a week, added 10psi at a time until springs looked right and van sat slightly nose down.
 
4 bar on mine, Autocruise Oakmont, single axel, I often have a boat in tow and nose weight of the hitch is 90kg so I up it to 5 bar
 
Thanks everyone for the advice, I'm thinking I'll start at 3 bar and adjust from there depending on how it rides......

I run mine at between 2.5 & 3 bar. I can sense when I need a top up if I’ve forgotten to check the pressure gauge when I enter the MH but it seldom changes to any degree.
