AIRBAG LIFE

My MH was built in 2001 so that puts my airbags at 22 years old. I have air leaking somewhere, so should I have the airbags replaced first and see if that is the problem or pay the shop to search for the air leak and pay for their time?

What is the life of Airbags on a class A MH?

    My 1998 Monaco has original air bags. Had a leak once that turned out to be the connection to hook up an air hose to air up tires etc. I have one of those in the front and in the back. Held pressure ever since.

    Why pay a shop to hunt for leaks? No need to be in a hurry, just spray soapy water on all lines and such. If you suspect bags, start there.

    What chassis is your MH on?
    Air bags didn't last long for me. If in coils springs rocks getin an puncture holes.
    On my P30 I replaced front springs and air bags with variable raye springs.
