Let me toss my hat into the ring on the airbag issue. I am slightly
prejudice because of my association with Applied but I have the two bag Jim
ride. I first put it on my '73-23' Glacier. After I sold that coach I put
the two bag (again Jim's) on my up and coming '75-26' Avion. Would NOT
change a thing and would do it again.
I have been to the Rose Parade almost 40 times with the 23' and parked on
the street next to the curb to hold my place on the sidewalk. Never could
level with the OEM but could with the two bag. I found you have more than 3
to 4 more inches of leveling play over the oem. I have also found on the 26'
that I can level the ride at about 35 to 40# air pressure instead of the
higher PSI needed for the OEM bag. And I found that you can add about 5# psi
more and go from a comfy ride to a harder/stiffer ride. Better handling for
curves, or mountain roads.
By the by, I have basically ignored the upfront airpump and valves on the
dash, although they work. I have Schrader valves and shut offs on both
sides. I have a portable cordless aircompressor and set the level for
camping, then set the level for travel and never touch it on the road. I
don't care that my 12# dog shifts her weight from front to rear.
