Air Bag set up ??

[Noiseydiesel]

Okay.
'94 F350 crewcab dually 7.3 turbo
Got the 2007 Lance Camper 9.5 feet to put on it.
Looking at Airlift airbags to put onto it due to the internal "Jounce bumper".

Lucky for me I picked up brackets from a junk yard and only need the bags, airlines, etc misc.
Figuring on 5,000 Lb air bags and then possibly an on board air compressor?
I am aware that the compressor is not an overused item. Camper on, air up, camper off, air down...
Doing that how often?
So....

I have sen the wireless systems and I might tend to go with an analog hard wired system.
Where would you mount the gauges?
Sterility of appearance being a key issue.

Id use the hard wire if it was me and being they are not gauges you need all the time I'd mount them behind the seat

I saw someone had them mounted under the drivers seat facing out. Looked like a good place from the picture. Easy access when hooking up with the door open but out of the way otherwise.

Two hella' good ideas. . . I have seen too many dash boards cluttered up with c*ap and did not desire to go that route. Wireless is nice until the electronics check out.

I haul an old slide in camper and use air bags. No on board dedicated, compressor however I do have a 12v air compressor that doubles for tire inflation. Usually air up one time and it's good for entire season. Typically put 50 psi in the bags and 50psi in each rear tire.

I run bags I took off a previous gasser I owned , I run the air line from the bag to the back of the rear fender (mounted) and fill there manually . Simple and accessible

I run 40 lbs in the bags and 70 psi in the rear tires , my camper is 2600 lbs empty plus a trailer

I run my helper bags like my bagged cars.
air valves 1 for pump 1 for dump.
can do both sides if youre worried about it bridging over.
I hate 60 feet of airline throughout the truck
