Love these tech video. Definitely better than endlessly showing coaches for sale. There is huge demand for good mobile techs.
Keep these tech videos coming it helps everybody who owns an RV
Tech videos are always appreciated here. We have a 2001 HDT chassis on a 2008 build of a SuperC toy hauler. Just did all new airbags as we approach 23 years and almost 800K miles on the OEM bags. Research was difficult to find a consensus on the expected life and truth be told these bags see many diverse applications from mining trucks to over-the-road and of course RVs…
My thoughts are for RV are visual inspection for checking drying rubber or abrasions and or 15 years is a good idea to start considering a change. We have 8 bags on the rear axels and it was a half day job in the shop with the right tools at hand. On the road - one bag might take that long so it might fall under good PM practice…
Love the video Brian. Keep 'em coming.
Soooo glad you made this video!!! I will be replacing my 98' Intrigue Airbags next season and was wondering if I would have to take the tire off. This answers many questions! Thanks Brian! Keep them coming!
Hay Brian i wish I had a Pound £ for every air bag I have replaced I would be a rich man now but I love the work and seeing a customer drive off in their truck or bus always gave me a buz. Thanks and keep doing the videos. Fred from the UK.
FYI, sometimes a small rock can get caught under the bag and cause a bad spot on the bag and then get released sometime later and you never find a root cause of the problem, after 3 million miles in a truck you see some odd things happen, just sayin!
Keep ‘em comin Brian!
Like the wrench. Murphy's Law. Don't you love it. Thanks Brian for a very informative video
Well, I was debating buying a used coach, but 90 seconds into this video you talked me out of it!
At the cost of new ones, you can replace a whole lot of stuff on an old coach, and still save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Great tech video! Thank for sharing your experience!
Awesome Video Brian, you are a great talent for Country Coach.
Love the tech videos! More please🙏🏼
You are at the top of your game
So this is what you've been working on trying to get the airbags fixed wow that is one heck of a job you are a true technician👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁
Yeah Brian and them are great videos lotta help keep up the good work buddy
Man what a job. I liked this video, everyone wants to just do reviews I like knowing how they work.
Definitely agree! Loving the tech videos Vs the for sale and show videos.
Great video Brian.
Thanks Brian, just bought a 2000 infinity. love the coach. tech videos are awesome.
I love the tech videos I wouldn’t mind if you show the hole process anyway keep the videos coming
This isn't a tech video less than none information didn't talk about how to unclip the air line even
Tech videos are great too
Love this video. More tech please! 👍
Tech videos are great!! Thomyt I too was just wondering if you needed to pull the wheel off to have more room to work?
Another great video buddy!!
I'm Loving it Brian
There is a famous Far Side comic strip with a professor describing a complicated math operation with a flow diagram. On the left was a long equation, in the middle a box labeled "Magic Happens" and on the right the final answer. The confused student asking, could you fill in the middle part a little bit.
I want too see more of how you do things.
Oh great one more thing to worry about. When are the Airbags on my 1993 Winnebago Adventurer going to blow out? And can I find replacements...Glad you are safe
Well alright.....................
Would it have been easier to remove the wheel...
But your the Boss..... great video......... thxs..💎🖐🦍💪
My front airbags are leaking in my Tiffin Phaeton. My shocks are totally shot, so the airbags got a lot of extra stress. My just bought coach is old enough to drink, (2002 vintage, 93k mi,) and I doubt if the shocks were ever replaced, nor the airbags. The new shocks will be Konis, not OEM. I wonder what it was like when the bag on this coach blew?!
Great video Brian I like the varied content I know it's probably a difficult question to answer but what is the actual approximate life expectancy on an airbag of that nature ?
There’s a lot of variables due to miles and the humidity conditions that the coaches are stored in are used in.
Thanks for watching.
Hey man did you put jackstands on the frame? I plan on doing all six on my country coach affinity and I was wondering the best way to go about jacking it up. And do you recommend pulling the wheels and tires for better access?
If you shoot me your contact information at BrianMoto773@gmail.com I will give you a call back and go over any details to help you were Jack positioning and so on and so forth. I do not pull the wheels and tires it would help a decent amount in the rears but I do not like to fight the tire reinstallation or the torque specs.
Thank you for watching.
Geez you guys that repeat questions ie, why not remove tires to do this job. Read all comments before writing your own.
Hey buddy my airbags are working great except my front or not deflating after taking a ride
Sure would be nice to see the install work and not just cutting from heres the bag and here it is installed....I mean this is a "tech" video? We'd love to see the actual process. It helps us learn what we can expect should we decide we want to tackle it. Thanks
Hi Brian, as always great video! Literally yesterday crawled under my 1996 CC Intrigue 40' and rear bags checking is way worse than on this video. So I must replace those. By any chance do you know the part# for the front and rear airbags? I can't find any numbers on the outside of the airbag.
I would try Gillig
I need to bring tools and parts so I'm not sitting at the truck stop for 6 hours waiting for an airbag replacement
Is there a reason why you didn't remove the wheels for better access or is it easier with the wheel still on to compress the suspension? Thanks
A couple different reasons why. I didn’t remove the front tires and wheels is one the time to do the removal and reinstallation and the responsibility of torque specs on the Lugnuts. Also if any jacks or so on and so forth fail it will only be until the airbag compresses. Thanks for watching.
I was wondering how difficult it is to get to the inner workings. What’s the typical lifespan of the bags??? Thx
There is a lot of variables but usually you can expect about a 20 year life expectancy depending on humidity‘s during storage and use and different variables. And if the coach has air leveling or not.
Any reason you didn't pull the tires off? You would have a lot more access.
I would much rather not pull the wheel and I have to worry about re-torquing it and so on and so forth if I can just rotate it to the right or left for the access that I need.
Thanks for watching.
I like the tech videos. My air bags are approaching 20 years old on my Freightliner chassis. Is their a recommended age for change out? I have a bit over 31k miles on my Class A pusher.
Unfortunately Brian doesn’t seem to like to respond to comments here. I’m in the same boat as mine are coming up on 18 years. Pretty sure it is time. I’m more concerned about loosing at bag at speed, specifically a front bag like this. Good thing is, they don’t appear that difficult to replace, assuming you have the ability to unload the suspension. Since I have a lowly Inspire, it has hydraulic leveling that is capable of lifting the tires off the ground where I can put in jackstands to work underneath.
There’s a lot of different variables depending on humidity during storage and use and also if you have air leveling or jacks for your leveling system due to higher pressures on our leveling systems. Thanks for watching
The sway bar brackets on my ‘04 Inspire had fatigued and broken. I put in a new ride height valve (should keep a new spare on hand, need three total) and set to spec. Any suggestions Brian on shocks? King? 😁
I found out the “hard way” that there is a heavier gauge sway bar bracket to replace original ones.🤨
I have a question, i just recently purchased a coach 12.1 height, my drive entrance is 11 height. I was wondering if I can take the air out of the air bags can i gain a foot? Or is not possible to drive it a little bit with out the air ?
How long should air bags last? Or when should they be replaced as a precaution?
Approximately 20 years depending on different variables also if the coach has air leveling or Jack leveling. Thanks for watching.
Where can I find air bags for a 2004 Monaco Signature series
Monaco triple crown
Why did you not remove the tire...lol
I have a 2014 Berkshire issue I’m having driving down the road it bounces all over the place only does it after comes off the stands the soft levers it will drive you out of the unit what should I look for
Had the front wheels balanced only does it after on the stabilizer jacks
Where do you get new Country Coach Airbags from? What’s the website?
What kind of CC?
In this instance we source them locally through Oregon Motercoach.
Where is special tool and where can you get it from?
snapon or matco would have them.
How much do you charge to inspect an RV
There’s a lot of different variables. Email me at brianmoto773@gmail.com
Thanks for watching
So what does a job like this cost?
About $300.00 per airbag approximately and approximately 1 to 2 hours of labor per side depending on shop rate of approximately $150.00 hour.
So happy (NO)
Come on. You could have used duct tape it would have been ok. Duct tape fixes everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Barest video and super interesting.
Waste of time
