It must be told.
We have converted our 1975 Landau into a Rutgers Tailgate Party coach, all
decorated in Red,White & Black and have tailgated at the Rutgers Football
Games.
Yesterday, Sat. 9/15/2010 after all week going over the coach in
preparation of Saturdays Game which started at 3:30 PM, but a must to be at the
stadium 3 hours prior to it in order to get a parking spot.
Low an behold, got up that morning, looked out at the coach and the left
side was down to the ground, the compressor working fine, the air bag would
not take over 60 pounds. I found a extra air bag in the pod that the former
owner left there, so what do I do. I looked in the service manuals and not
mention as to change an air bag.
Solution. I called Jim Bounds at 8 am, lucky he was just leaving for the
International, nevertheless he told me how to take the old bag out and how
to install the new one. Never have changed one, I following his
instructions and this 83 yr ole man had changed it in less than an hour.
I just have to thank Jim Bounds , as without his help I would not ever be
able to change the Air Bag and would never been able to have the coach once
again at the Tailgate Party.

I had the same experience when I went powerless on the side of the freeway in New Mexico, I put $20 in an envelope with a thanks note... It was well worth it !

I thought I saw Jim as I buzzed by on my scooter today. I was on a mission so I did not stop. There will be plenty of time for that tomorrow and later on in the convention.
There are lots of vendors in Vendor Row. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of them. I have not visited all of them yet.
