I bought my spare bag from SD truck springs.  They pretend to have the tag axle bag but nobody does except 6 week lead special order from Good year and Foretravel and Newell carry it. 

How long has the FT or Newell one been sitting on the shelf, though?

Geeky,

I believe the tag bags for your 1999 are 1R11-202, which are special order ones.  Hopefully, my 1R11-039 are more common.

I'll find out next week.

*sigh*  I thought about this but I didn't have the time to wait.  As is we delayed our cross country trip by 2 weeks because it broke RIGHT when we were doing shakedown drives before leaving.  That part number does sound right.

The airbags can last 20+ years, even while being used on the coach, so they're not exactly a "perishable" item with an expiration date. It would only be important if you think you'll still own the same coach 20+ years from now and you don't want to ever replace the airbags again... I think that represents a very tiny segment of readers of this forum.

Well, it turns out the 1R11-039 are a "made to order" item and require an undefined, long lead time.  So, I have cancelled my sdtrucksprings order.

Punt!

I ordered my tag axle air bags from truck springs and had them in about 10 days.

I have not installed my tag axle bags yet as I had to make a 3800 mile trip to Washington State, but felt better knowing that if I had a bag go out, had a replacement along with us.
