Air suspension
Hey Chris, I just changed out six air bags on my '81, 33 footer. (I had
previously changed the other two bags). The cost of the bags was around
$120.something to $140.something, as they all had to be ordered. You would
think a
big trucking community like Charleston SC would have a huge trucking supply
house, NOT. The labor was $75.00 per hour, and it took my mechanic Jason in a
heavy truck garage about 2 hours per bag. The front bags on a FC non turbo
are a bear. So if they are telling you six hours is way too much. Look for a
garage that works on Blue Bird transit buses, and they will have a more
realistic time frame for working on a Wanderlodge.

Hope this helps, I can tell you I can see a huge difference in the ride with
all new air bags underneath.
