Did all Barths use air bag cushioning in the suspension system? | |||

The GM P30 series motor home chassis used air bags inside the front spring coils. The single rear axle used leaf springs, although many of us have added air lift or firestone air bags for leveling or trimming. P30 series chassis with a tag axle had air bags as the only spring on the tag axle. Those with experience on other chassis will hopefully contribute as to others. . 84 30T PeeThirty-Something, 502 powered | |||

My 1973 P30 does not have air bags in the front suspension and given the rust in this area have not for quite some time, if ever. Now the coach is old enough I do not know all the history and in reading it appears the "Super Springs" (check camping world site) "do not require" bags so take my observations for what they are worth, limited. I guess, no I am sure, I will add air bags when I add bags to the back. The front bags appear to sell for something in the seventy dollar range, the back bags are in the two fifty range, a bit more if you want fancy pumps for side to side adjustments and the like and I do. It rides well as it is but I have added a motorcycle rack to the back and with the scooter on the back it lifts the front an inch or so. Timothy | |||

If you want a gasser that comes with factory air bags, you got to get a Chebby. | |||
