bugmanspring air bags
where to find new air bags, I found left front had a leak.also where in midwest to have install. an what to expect to pay?THank you for the information on air pressure, I have a l979 30 foot Barth, 454 engine. I am wondering if air bags will be better than air shocks on the front? Thanks for any help! James and Helen

<Carl Flack>Bugman: My front air bags were installed by a major truck shop(only one in Southwest FL.) Parts $167.89
Labor $ 74.00
Shop supplies 3.70 (they love to add this)
Tax $ 14.74
Total $260.33
The rear bags was a miss mash of a whole ton
of things and a LOT of labor, totaling
$1,021.13. When Dave Bowers said "have five grand handy" he wasn't kidding. Had I been able to do most of the work myself it would
have been cheaper, but my lack of a place to work(code won't permit your driveway)and my knowledge was limited. So I'm spending my
50 year old kid's inheritance money I feel my coach was in better than average condition when we bought it last November and maybe I've gone "overboard" (Iwon't list
all the other goodies)but I sure love my Barth. Just envy the next owner, he wont have a thing to do. Now here's the kicker, we haven't had our first weekend trip. As they say in the movies, "Happy Trails".
