Title: What are the best airbags for a PB Challenger towing a CT
Post by: selsij on July 30, 2013, 08:37:43 PM

 ???
I have a Mars HF camper that I have used as a basis for making a comfortable CT.
BUT I seem to have a problem with the down force on the tow bar.
I have made sure that any mods that I have made balance out over the axel.
Not that I have made any significant weighty mods......

BUT. What are the best airbags for the PB Challenger?

I am happy with the standard set up with out the trailer so I am not into changing springs and my son has air bags on his Cruiser and swears by then. But the Challenger ones seem to be plagued with problems with 'chaffing' of the air supply tubes which in some instances have only lasted 2 weeks!!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated as we are going to do a Sydney to WA trip in a few weeks and I would like to  make sure I am OK for the trip...   ... (I am 69 years old!! So don't want problems..)

Thanks in advance. :-*

Here's another cruiser user who is happy with his bags.

If they are rubbing can't something be done about the routing? Or Put the air line into split tubing or something similar?

We recently fitted a pair of Firestone poly bags to our jeep.

They worked well on the 1770 trip with no noise or anything.

Have decided to have a set of Coilrites fitted next Wednesday by 4wd1 at Castle Hill.

Then to drag 'Katie the Kampa' over to WA by 'Charlie the Challenger' ............

Found a great source of info by Ron & Viv Moon called 'Across the Bight & Nullabor'

I hope I can give an update later on how we go...
