I would Google US Coach. If anybody knows about these it will be Luke. I am sure he can get them to you even though he is in New Jersey I think.I have a 5303 GMC, I think it is about the same thing. I am sure there are folks on the left coast that know their stuff about them as well but I do not know who they are. I changed mine my self, it is not a bad job off you pull the back wheels off.

Sadly, Bob passed away earlier this year.  His shop is still open, but it's my understanding that his staff are simply winding up other projects.  A phone call never hurts, tho. . .

Calling Luke is another option.  His number is 1-888-262-2434, and he's in NJ, so allow for the time difference.

FWIW & HTH. . .

Change all the air bags. I had an air bag burst at the entrance to an RV park while my wife was registering. The explosion scared the heck out of me and actually shook the building, people came running out to see what happened. Mine was the orginal 1989 with 683,000 miles on it. I changed all 8. Not cheap but worth the satisfaction knowing that one won't let go while driving down the interstate.

This is a link to the Firestone catalog that has drawing and sizes for air bags.  It is a little work but
you should be able to find your air bag just from the size and mounting type.
