Pick up day at RVW

Wife and I fly out tomorrow morning to RVW in Ohio for our ordered 3011DS. Looking forward to getting it and hopefully enjoying our trip home. We have five camping nights planned between Indian lake SP near RVW, and the Staunton VA KOA near family. Then another night or two from there as we travel home, no set plans for those nights.

I packed three boxes of RV related items and shipped them to the dealer last week, and we are checking two suit cases for the flight.

So, knowing the weight of the shipped boxes, and our suit cases ( approx 170 lbs total, can anyone recommend PSI for the air bags ??

Tire PSI I plan on running what's on the door sticker.

On board water I'm thinking 20 gals or so ( Parks have FHU).

Have no experience with the Fire Stone Air Rite and PSI needed.

Have pulled TTs for allot of years but this will be a first operating a class C !

With a 3011 I would try 70 psi to start.

I also picked up there last fall. Good experience and pleasant to do business with. Saved about 20% from local after 1000 mile trip to p/u. Enjoy your trip and RV.

The wait is over. Congratulations!! I usually run 70 in the airbags. Since you are not "loaded" you might try 60 though.

Staunton KOA is one of our favorites. It has been a few years but we enjoyed the ducks and walking along the waters edge.

Picked her up Wednesday afternoon and spent the night at Indian Lk SP. Back to dealer to document a few warranty items and the a day of high wind driving out of Ohio and into WV! Spent the night at the Beckley service plaza.

So far so good. Drives and handles well. The drive over Sandstone Stone Mt in WV ( 2700 ft) went well the six speed in tow haul mode was great.
