I just crawled under my new to me 04 winnebago sightseer.It has air bags inside the front coils. Are these oem or after market? How much pressure? I can find nothing in the books.

They are OEM. You have the P-32 chassis. The air bags need to be inflated to at least 70psi to help keep the front end from floating going down the road.

The P-32 chassis was made bt Chevy, than Workhorse took it over. Now the P-32 is no longer manufactured. Was replaced by the W-16/18.

As for the 70psi. Some other owers will run that a little higher or lower. But you do have to have air in them.

If they are black they are OEM and not much of a warranty. Part of the front axle weight rating.

You can replace them with Air Lift orange ones with remote fills or air pump and adjustable on the move and the bags have a life time first owner warranty.

You can also buy and replace the spring with a higher rated Super Spring and eliminate the air bag.
