so, how do you re-pressure your bags??

I carry a super small bicycle pump, one designed to be attached to your bike for on the road repairs.  Only needs a few pumps to change the pressures of the bags.

I have an ATC Ocelot shell (72"wide) on a Silverado 1/2 ton. Only options I got on it were the furnace and awning so it,s fairly light weight. On the truck I have added E rated tires and Timbrens. I have recently traded trucks and I am going to give the air bags a try on the new truck. Thats if I get the camper put on next spring,this covid thing sure threw a wrench into a lot of plans this year eh.

I have a 12v air pump that I plug into the 12v outlet near the sink.

The two air valves are located near the license plate area.

Very simple to use.

I have a Raven Shell with a heater on a Silverado 1500. It has a Hellwig leaf on each side and doesn't squat at all.

What model of truck, ext cab, crew cab, long or short bed? Makes a huge difference on available payload for the camper. I have a 16 Sierra reg cab 1500 with long bed and didn't have to do anything to it to carry a fwc grandby shell...i did add e rated tires..
