I have my coach backed into my driveway in front of my garage. In
order to level it out I have to deflate the air bags (stock setup with
extenders) completely and raise the front of the coach by a couple of
2x4s under the front tires. I'm going to be doing a bunch of work on
the inside and am wondering if this is doing any damage to the air
bags? Can they be completely deflated for any length of time without
any damage?? Thanks.

Gary,
I like to put a length of 6x6 under the bogie and then deflate the bag. Don't know but on a stretch 73 the tires may hit the wheel well liner with the bag completely deflated.

Gary,
Good question.
Based on what we have seen around here, if the bags do not have lot of
weather cracks, I would estimate 9 moth to a year should be fine.
If it developes a leak, I guess you can ask me to give you a dis count
on an replacement.

Hmmm, I thought on the early coaches (73 would be early), that the tires will hit top of the rear well when the bags are deflated and damage the wheel wells.
At some point GM added some additional clearance so the wheels did not hit the wheel well.
I'm just a newbie, so I could have this all wrong
