I have a 2000 Coachman, 26.5' with a 14' slide.
It has airbag suspension in the rear. What is a good pressure to run?

The pressure that makes it ride like you want it to ride. It varies with load.

Mine likes 45 to 80 psi, depending on the load I am carrying. I carry a 150 psi inflator to adjust the air springs as needed if my load changes or the plumbing leaks down.

You don't get any wheel hop with low pressures?

It seems like it would behave like a blown shock with little air pressure. Don't really know,,, that is why I'm asking.

I have air bags in addition to leaf springs and shocks so the bag is supplement and I use 60 which works well, I had no idea that straight air suspension was available in a smaller RV. Mine is 27 ft with 7 foot slide.

I've got a 22' class C, NO slides.

60 PSI picks my back end up about 2" from bottom..
