Installation of Firestone Air Command Air Compressor 2011 Itasca Impulse 26Q

[BillSpin]

I found that my RV has Firestone Air Bags and found the kit that you can control them from the cab of the truck!

Has anyone installed the system? I am hoping it will help me level since the unit has no jacks attached to the unit.
Pro's or Con's you found with the system?
Any tricks to the installation?

Thanks!

The airbags are not for leveling when parked they are for weight and loading compensation when driving. They are “helper springs” like on the rear suspension of a pickup truck. Which is essentially what your Class C motorhome is… a Ford 350 or 450 truck.

I understand and thanks for the clarification. I still am interested in installing for the convince of adjusting when needed as the ports are not easy to get to in the wheel well. So, I am still looking for anyone who may have gone thru with the installation?

I installed these in the rear of our old class C and a similar wireless system on our Roadtrek, note they won't work on the front coil springs. They give some leveling, with the Roadtrek about 2" from min to max. So they help some with leveling but you have to be pretty level in the first place.

No real install tricks needed, just had to find an appropriate hole in the firewall to route the air lines through on the class C.
