    my front air bags are shot and I am hearing that they are only available through the fleetwood dealer. Yet I see some replacment bags that say they are for the p-30 chassis. Anyone know if these can be replaced by other then oem?

     You can get them thru any dealership or rv repair place. have "air-lift" brand airbags and are the same as the original Firestone models. I think they are around $100. installed. CW has them and can install them for you as well. Mine have been on now around 10 years now and no problems at all.

    Is your rig on a P30?, If so, yes you can get them where they sell any Chassis supplies.
    I got mine thru Camping World

    Thanks for the input and the good news. I have checked alittle and they are selling for $100 plus instalation. Could you please help me to make sure if I have a p-30 chassis? What would I look for to see? My title says p-31 but that might be a typo. Are there any dimensions for the air bags that might help me order the right ones?

    Not sure about the P31 chasis, but if you have coil springs in the front then they will probably work.  I install my own, but it can be difficult.  In the bottom of the Spring housing there is a hole that is large enough to wad the bags up tight and kind of screw them into place.  It looks impossible and it isn't easy, but I got it done.

    It may very well be a P31, not certain, I did get hits for Fleetwod P31 when I googled it.

    Go here to see what I did
