I have got the above on my Adria Coral Compact. How much pressure is too much or too little?

I've never come across these before so any pointers will be well appreciated,  thanks

Hi. As you've got an Adria motorhome, your system might have been installed by the previous owner under a trade deal with Airide Air Suspensions aka Gary at: https://okopuncturecontrol.co.uk/airide-air-suspension-systems

 

Club Adria has a special discount arrangement with Gary which many members have taken up. http://www.clubadria.co.uk/news.php

 

I suggest that you give Gary a call to check on pressures etc, he's very helpful.

So you have Air Assisted Suspension rather than shock absorbers! Two very different things!

 

Are they large doughnut shaped rubber bellows on the rear axle with a pair of valves, a pressure gauge and a Schrader valve either in the cab door step or possibly a rear locker?

If the system is an AirRide one, there is advice on choosing an appropriate air-bellows inflation-pressure here

For my previous Adria Twin SP I ran the air suspension at 30 psi. Really you should use the lowest pressure that gives you the desired level of comfort and stability. If you have excessive pressure you run the risk of upsetting the handling balance of the van by increasing the effective springrates at the rear.
