1988dolphin Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The air bags on my 1988 Dolphin have finally rotted out. I need to replace them. I plan on doing the work myself and need a recommendation on air bags that some of you no doubt have used. Any help would be appreciated.

Ctgriffi Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Good choice and nice job. It’s a great product, and they really stand by the warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 So 4 to 5 hundred dollars for a system to keep your air bags level? You know they only need to be checked every once and a while. I don't get it. For leveling the fridge I have my trusty 12 volt air pump and after all these years I know when my fridge is level just by looking at the outside of the camper. Maybe I'm just cheap Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I was cheap and lazy. I routed the both airlines to the driver side rear wheels. That way I could fill/release air with out having to go on a walkabout to get both valves. A bulls eye bubble level on the rear bumper worked to level front to back and side to side. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Swanson-2-in-Surface-Level-SL0002/300224978?MERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-203639896-_-300224978-_-N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 My 87 New Horizon had a 9 leaf rear spring pack it sat high enough in the back I had plastic ramps to drive the front up on to level it out! I have no idea what they came from but my friend's 87 New Horizon has the same leaf pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
