What is inside an airbag?


A few years ago someone posted photos of a cut-apart airbag.  I'm trying to find them for you.

When you lift your coach to as high as it will go, the distance from the metal donuts to the frame member above it is 6.25 to 6.5 inches. Makes shorter safety blocks for working under your coach then the 11.5 inch ones most folks put beside the airbags. I purchased high strength aluminum pipe from a boat manufacturer with 2 inch ID, which is the OD of the metal donuts.

Wyatt, the 6" long pipe is not clear to me, maybe I'm dumb, any pics? JohnH

Hi All,
  I safety block as Wyatt. Need just over six inches to keep coach near the highest it will go. The mount just over the washer/spacer that the factory has on all frames.

thanks for the link to the diagram. that helps. I was not aware that there was a solid rubber block inside that the weight of the coach could rest on, until Wayne mentioned it in his comments.
