I just noticed that my original style Firestone air bags are starting to weather check at the folds. One is less than six years old and the other is about eight years old. I intend to eventually replace them with the Quadra Bag system, but my budget for GMC improvements is just about spent for this year. How much time do I have left on these bags, or should I bite the bullet and go ahead with the upgrade. The replacement option may be a bit of a problem to get past the CFO right now, but she is usually pretty reasonable when it comes to the safety of the coach.
