Robin, It doesn't require any modifications to the COACH. While the AIRBAG is "off the shelf" it needs the plates made to match the bag to the coach.
If I understand it correctly: This is a "new" design and "the designer" (Mark) isn't interested in making more for sale. BUT, if someone with the proper tools and skills wanted to make them, it might reduce the cost of going to rallies. (Hint, Hint!)

I need new bags... Is this an off the shelf replacement that needs no mods?

I didn't want to hijack the other thread, so...
I have seen these "other" new airbags on AZ Craigslist for a while now. They
look interesting and there is a youtube video listed in the CL ad.
I'm curious if anyone has these and what they think of them.

Guy,
I'm not sure which bag Don is using; however, I believe it to be:
Firestone: W01-358-3400; it has a Min. Ht. of 2.75 inches and a Design Height of 6-7 inches. I interpret that to mean it has an
operating range of:
6.00" - 2.75" = 3.25"
or
7.00" - 2.75" = 4.25"
However, it could be:
Firestone: W01-358-7325; it has a Min. Ht. of 3.12 inches and a Design Height of 7-8 inches. I interpret that to mean it has an
operating range of:
7.00" - 3.12" = 3.88"
or
8.00" - 3.12" = 4.88"
I can't seem to find the operating range of the OEM bags, however, I am reasonably confident it is much more than 4.88".
I checked the design specs and neither of these bags have a bump stop in them. I noted that Don deflated them completely in the
video and it appeared that they were compressed to less than 2.75" I don't know if it is OK to do that or not.
Regards,
Rob M.

Being as small as this bag is, I find it hard to believe that it would give a
good ride. Travel is also minimal. Would be interesting to give it a test
drive.

I can get someone to make them - or lend me his shop while I makle them - but a rough sketch would be nice. Any chance.... with dimensions?
Thanks,
Johnny

I paid $138 each for the bags and have maybe $30 worth of metal torch gas and welding wire in both sides. probably around $300 for both sides. If you cant get someone locally to make the plates I can do it but would not be able to get to it for a few weeks.

I dont have any drawing software on my laptop. I will see what i can do in paint. It is not going to be pretty.... Did you look at that discriptions on the photos. I listed the dimensions in them. Might be kind or hard to interpret. Maybe I will make little signs and put them on the plates and take photos. Hmmmm Let me see what I can do.
