Air Bags
The only thing more frustrating that my hunt for tires, was my hunt for replacement air bags. I had fabricated a set of 4" x 4"x 16" blocks to jack the suspension up on the advice of the tow truck driver. The original bags were still on the MH and to my surprise they held air, but the guy wouldn't hook his truck to it without the 4 x 4's. I got the one smart tow truck driver in Houston. Talk about hen's teeth, if it weren't for the web, I'd still be looking for a set of bags. I called up the nice lady at Gateway Motor Home Parts http://gmcmotorhomeparts.com/ and promptly nuked my Mastercard for a new set of air bags and aluminum cones. I'm sure glad they only installed two of these puppies on this box. A few days later I happened across a cardboard box under the sofa. Low and behold what do I find, but a brand new 25-year-old air bag.
