Thanks for the stories Jim.


No need to get angry - we are all just talking here.... understanding areas in need of improvement on a system is always a good thing - now it just needs to be put all into one package.   

There were a few questions I had:  If you personally have had blown tires take out the air lines on several occasions why not design the Q bag system to help prevent this from happening to others?  The air lines in the Q bag appear in photos to be routed just as close - if not closer - than the stock single bag set up. And there are more of them! 

Safety on a "12,000 lb hot rod" is very important to me and I have to tell you - I am not comfortable hearing you say a blown tire can take out the systems' air lines.  

An owner says he looked up the specs on the air bags of his Harrison equipped coach and they are rated for "a max of 150 PSI".   But if the bags were rated at 100 psi - why would air pressures up to "145" psi be a problem on the Harrison system which distributes that pressure to 8   (4 on one side and 4 on the other) different air bags at the same time?    Is any one air bag ever getting the total pressure required to raise the coach?        
  As few travel with the air bags fully aired up I imagine the pressure at travel height would be less than that of a fully inflated system - staying within the pressure limits of the air bags.      

Also - how come after installing the Q bag system one can no longer mount their side skirt back onto their coach? 
 Why is further modification or an after market bracket needed?     Couldn't this all be built into the system?

Jim - I am only asking because as a "newbie" these were some of the questions that came up as I reviewed and compared the different systems on-line.

A friend called me today telling me about this thread, I have been very busy and have not had time to get up on the net.  I would have commented earlier so here goes--------

There is no bag war--- there is no comparison-- it is totally documented that the Harrison 4 bag system is not strong enough-- but even before that I can tell you not only first person but from customers of mine who were left out to dry when they complained about issues with the system.
