What have I changed on my web site?  My guess is the "slight modification" I mentioned is to cut the lower T skirt bracket a bit just as you will find you will have to do with your Harrison one.

You say you are going to modify the system for more support, good luck because it is not a "yea youall watch this" sort of thing to modify something as important as a suspension component!  So you are buying a brand new product and even before you put it on you are modifying it?  I would not do that.  The big thing is 1/4" thick steel is not enough to build such a device out of-- heck everything bends, the upright twists as it did on Nelsons, the air bag mounting plates bend as it does on mine, using with only 1 wheel on a side the whole system deforms as it did on Steve's and the one I drove.  I make nothing no matter which one you buy but really, do you want that?  We're not making this up, this is not a soap opera, I have a business and I cannot put my customers in harms way knowing what I know and see!

You really need to see, touch and feel the 2 systems side by side-- really, there is no comparison-- Steve and I wrong?

When Liegh refused satisfaction to several of my customers because of serious issues with his product I told him right then that I would let everyone know what happened and that is my reason for telling you what I am.  I can prove all I am saying so I can say it.  If you are informed and still make your decision then you have thaqt right, you live in America but boy...

See I am not confused, I am first person informed, I am in the loop, the big loop-- I have the experience, the cuts on my hands and the customers telling me their troubles.  Do not dismiss me thinking I am a dumb redneck-- I may be but this I do know about!  I'm not hiding anything, I'm not "changing" my web site to hide anything, you are mistaken.  This is not a game, I have the farm in this!  You can bat around what people "say", I will tell you from first hand experiences!

I think I have made my point-- unless someone has something new on this we probably should let the thread go and I agree.  We live in America and you can do anything you like but do not try and bring me around to your side on this one-- no way brother!  Don;t run your coach with 1 wheel off the ground with that system.  You can do it with no problem with a Quad bag system.  Who was at Dothan, remember the pictures of the guy heading to the rally that lost a tire?  I have absolute documented proof it works perfect with the Quas bag system!

I'll shu up now!

Mark,

When I get my first GMC I will be interested in updating and would
appreciate the favor if you would please give me your information on the
Harrison system.

"Who could not install the T skirt?"

Jim - it was posted on the GMC COOP site that the Qbag system requires
modification and/or an aftermarket mounting bracket to re-attach the T
shirt. Looks like Jim B has since gone in and changed his wording about it.

"Your making it sound like our system is really sub standard"

Really? Because I asked questions about the design of the Qbag system?

It doesn't matter anymore.

After asking questions of both companies concerning their product and
careful review I have ordered the Harrison system for my coach. The Harrison
design incorporates protection for both the air bags and the air lines
should a tire fail.
This is an important feature to me.

Mark,
both systems allows for the fender T skirt to be installed.
Who could not install the T skirt ?
Keep in mind that the Q Bag System have been in production for over 4 years.
Your making it sound like our system is really sub standard and Jim B
is little ignorant when it comes to knowing product that are better
engineered.
I suggest you take time to look at both and get your hands on them.
Reading and listening to comments is not sufficient for anyone to make
comment o a product.
Come to Western States and see coaches there with different systems.I
will even feed you some rice.
Words are words, I have a grin on my flat face as I get ready to press
the send button.
