Default Air Bag & Brake Upgrades for Newells

We want to keep coach in A-1 shape and make improvements where possible. This year will be the air bags and brakes. Are there any upgrades on either of these items? Thanks in advance.

Stan

Hi Stan, If your coach still has the old wedge style brakes I would recommend upgrading to the "S" cam design. It involves changing the complete brake assembly at each wheel. You can find the backing plates and some other hardware at a salvage yard. The air bags should be inspected and replaced if they show signs of abrasion or cracking.
