Ride height

(1/1)

Greg Ross:
Does anyone know the ride height measurement or where to find the info for a 2008 Contessa Pacifica.
Thanks

Steve Huber:
Greg,
To the best of my knowledge, 9.75 "to 10.25' is the normal range for air bags (top to bottom plate) on Beavers.

You might find that you get different measurements at each wheel. I just re adjusted my RV ride height yesterday. on one of the rear wheels, the front airbag was 11" whilst the rear one was 10". The airbags on the drivers side wheel are 9.5" and 10". If you do the repair yourself, get 4 heavy duty ramps so you can ensure plenty of clearance under the RV. Harbor Freight sells them rated for 6500lb each and they have done the trick for me.

Joel Ashley:
10” is common among Montereys and Contessas of that era.  There may be such specs in the Chassis section of your owners manual, but I’ve read that Monaco did not include ride height specifications in at least some Monaco Coach manuals after 2006;  they may have neglected the same in their Beaver manuals.  If you don’t have the manual, another owner here may check theirs for you.  Also, Beaver Coach Service should be able to supply the proper number.
