spring 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

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".

www.campingworld.com may be your best deal.

Unfortunately folks there isn't a Camping World in MO, because they are always having $5 installatiion specials but I think this is the best deal on the hardware, (or soft rubberware) $68.00 plus shipping
