I have 4 2X2 1/4 inch wall steel tubes 12 inches long. Do you place them at the inside airbag or the outside airbag? Thank you all in advance! Here is a photo of where I put them. Quote Selected
Re: Working Safely around your Foretravel Reply #101 – September 16, 2014, 06:22:30 pm Gary and Barry, Thank you for your replies. Looking at the picture is that the airbag in front of the tire or behind the tire? Or does it not matter? Thanks again Quote Selected
Re: Working Safely around your Foretravel Reply #102 – September 16, 2014, 07:28:03 pm I put them in front and behind, two per corner and both sides of the axle. To lift the whole coach I use eight posts. Be sure to use wheel chocks as well.Roger Quote Selected
Re: Working Safely around your Foretravel Reply #103 – September 20, 2014, 06:14:06 am I think most of us use 4 posts-one per corner. Quote Selected
Re: Working Safely around your Foretravel Reply #104 – September 20, 2014, 07:51:59 am Like Roger, I use 8 safety stands - one at each air bag. I got mine from Harbor Freight, on sale (at the time I bought them) for $9.99 each. A couple of them can also serve as light barbells if you need a little exercise. 12 in. Long 2 in.

Re: Working Safely around your Foretravel Reply #105 – September 20, 2014, 09:54:15 am Safety first, use two per corner. Do both front wheels or both rear wheels or all four wheels to prevent the coach from twisting if you lose air.I got two 48" receiver tubes from Northern Tool when they were on sale for about $39 each. A bit of sawing and you have 8 ~12" posts. 2" square tubes are nice and steady.Ultra-Tow 2-Inch Standard Weld-On Receiver Tube with Collar 48in. LengthRoger Quote Selected
