the wife and i were just sitting on the back porch and "POW"....."HISSSSSSS"!!!!! not knowing what to expect ran the MH and discovered the left rear bag and split! what a deal!?!?!?(lol) checked the right rear and it has apparently already had the same issue....both bodys are soft and in the dim light, appeared as thought they were offset somewhat to the axle. oh well, didn't have anything planned for this weekend anyway!!!

well, i guess the somewhat good news is that the pow and hissing wasn't the bellows or the air line. the bad news is that it was the LR inside tire!!! where we have it parked, of course i can't get to that side very well to see exactly what has happened. it doesn't appear to be the valve stem, soooo.......?? guess the sidewall gave out. glad it was sitting still and not going down the road. needed to put tires on it anyway, just wasn't quite prepared to do it right now. ahhh, the joys of surprises!!! and i thought our teenage daughter was the only that could still through us a curve ball!! while we are under the area thought we might as well replace the shocks. don't have any idea how old they are. any thoughts on brands? pricing?
