Thanks Wayne that's what I was asking. What it would be like without them.
Thanks for all your replies guys, but I don't need to know about replacements, what your experiences are with them, etc. I ask a simple question. What would it be like with them deflated. Anyone else like to reply to THAT question? No offense intended to all who replied with other info.
The only way you will know what it will be like without them is to load up the camper and take a ride. Anyone here can only truthfully say that it will be different. Maybe slightly different. Maybe a lot different. Maybe better. Maybe worse. Maybe tolerable. Maybe dangerous. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe you will turn around and head home after 1/2 mile.
A short ride around the neighborhood won't kill you and should tell you if you can tolerate it on the trip, or if you'll have to leave the camper home, or if you'll have to suck it up and repair the airbag.
Also, please don't bag on people who don't answer the exact question you asked. Sometimes they bring to light aspects of your situation that you may not have thought about. They are only trying to be helpful.
