John,

Apparently I'm the only person who can answer your question. I ran over
something that cut one of my bags on a Quardrabag system. We pulled
into a truck stop and found the problem. I closed the valve to that bag and
pumped the other bag up enough to bring the coach to ride height.
I looked at the one tire that was actually holding that corner, thought
about
the overload it was carrying and decided I wasn't going anywhere till it was
fixed. I called Tom Hampton who overnighted a new bag down to us.
It was a quick easy install and has been there ever since. JWID
