Thanks to everybody who chimed in with spark plug info,
and yes, i'm gonna renew my GMCMHI membership asap :)

So... this morning when the sun came up we were treated to that
special experience that seems to happen once every 5 years or so...
The surprise explosion of an airbag... 3 days late for 4th of July fireworks...
scared a bunch of surfers on the beach...
and now?
Sure, gotta put on the crusty spare i've got...
but now the weighing of options for a whole new system...
'cause there just aren't any original bags out there under $500, right???

Does the new quadra bag system (for $1595) really allow higher raising
(when leveling when parked) than the original system?

Well, this is the first time i've actually considered this:
But since nobody seems to be buying motorhomes these days,
heck, maybe its time to part out the Birchhaven...
Apparently its worth more for parts! (just kidding...?)

I blew one in the driveway last weekend. Oh well wanted to try an idea I had and I knew it was going to go soon. Worst part is it took out the T skirt. Will let you know how it turns out.

I wonder if any of the podcasters would like a coach like that Birchhaven. Maybe Leo Laporte, Cali Lewis, or Brian Cooley and the gang at CNET .
