FYI Air bag settle noise!!

[Joe Hogan]

Getting ready this morning, at the dump station and heard what sounds like a rifle shot, close.
The sound was followed by a sound of air hissing.
Got my attention!!
Must have been an air bag settling into its place. Originally thought it was a blowout. Checked air pressure all good.

Glad this happened standing still!

Yes, I’ve heard it several times when airing up after weird jack configs from unlevel sites. After Rettroband install it happened twice while driving and I pulled over to inspect. Scary noise.

yep, when parked on unlevel sites, I get the "Bang" when retracting from at least one of the jacks from time to time, nothing to be concerned about, I guess?

Same here, was on an uneven site and suddenly heard what sounded like a rifle shot while setting up. Thought I had really screwed something up, but it was just the combination of airbag and uneven site.
