Air Springs/Bags

[Robert Britton]

I know some folks have spare air bags that they keep in their coach
while traveling, if one blows, they can do the repair when they find
a safe place to do so, or they can have a shop do the repairs (they
have the parts so just labor to replace).

I think that 20 years of sevice out of air bags is long enough for
me. I'm going to replace all of mine on my 87FC along with new Koni
shocks, just preventive maintenance type of thing and peace of mind.
