Many posters have quested after a way to measure and/or adjust air bag pressure for even minute changes in ride height. The idea of simply setting the air bag pressure that results in proper ride height for the most common case and then, if you want to, compensating for the very unusual case has not received much traction. I am fine with my systems the way they are, but for those interested, Wixey makes a whole range of precise height measuring instruments, some with remote read outs. Look for those designed around routers mounted in tables and those for planers. It would be very easy to mount these to the existing ride height controllers and then run the remote read out up to the dash. That would allow you to set the air pressure in your bags to produce the exact ride height for whatever weight you happen to have in the coach at the moment and zero the instrument. Now you can see even fraction of a millimeter changes in ride height from the drivers seat and make whatev
er compensations you wish. The whole thing would be less than $150 (WR525 Remote router readout is $70 each for example) , take less than three hours to do and you would be able to keep your coach as close as you wish to the exact ride height you want. You can set the read out to be in imperial (fractions of an inch) or metric and can zero anywhere within the range.
Here is the link to the Wixey site:
