Airbags, dry-rot
David, I have a 1985 PT40 that I have owned for 12 years and the air bags have looked that way as long as I have owned it. When I bought the coach 12 years ago it had about 100,000 miles on it, now it has about 160,000. I am not shure but I wonder if the bags have a thick outer protective layer that we see cracking on the outside and the actual bag sealing the air is a thinner moreplyable rubber on the inside?

The bags are 7.5 years old. Anyone have a feel for how long bags should last, and how severely checked they can become before replacement is necessary? I have visions of installing new bags only to find the same checking one year from now. (Planning a cross country trip and want to be prepared). David Brady '02 LXi, NC |
