They should be able to push your year into the coach so it is a much easier fix. Still going to,cost a couple coach bucks though.


Yeah, I'm thinking $2500 - $3500.  Glad it happened now though, while we are near Nac, and not up in the PNW this coming spring/summer/fall.  Hope they have bladders in stock or readily available. I know that was an issue a few months back.

I also plan Cummins/chassis service, gen service, air dryer service, install of 3rd sewer valve, and dinette bench new foam for seating area.

I know this is going to be a stupid question but I am going for it anyway.
Why cannot you repair the split like we have done for years with inner tubes. Surely there is something that can be done without a total removal? Just need to know the material then a patch??
I know someone will say that any repair leaves a fraction of a gap at the ends of it ( due to difference of thickness etc) but is that really that important.

If I recall correctly..

$1700.00 for bladder
$800.00 for manifold (they will insist or HWH will not warranty)
plus labor of about $1500.00 to $2000.00

Plus special tape and cleaner ... 5 CB?

I had the same thought, but I think the problem is access to make a quality repair.  With slide in place, access to do a good job very difficult.  Plus need to do patch either deflated, or mostly deflated, then diameter changes when inflated

 There are a few threads where folks talk about attempting repairs, with no success.  Now a removed slide bladder might be repairable professionally (like inflatable boats get repaired), but the labor costs to remove then re-install would be risky long haul for a repair.
