Ed came to me with a problem - deteriorating airbags.
The airbags on our sleeper, like all airbags, are made of rubber. We have five airbags on the back of our sleeper that you can see here - three in the middle, one on each side. Over time, with exposure to the environment, road schmutz, chemicals, and sunshine, the rubber deteriorates and the airbags need to be replaced.
What Ed wanted, was a way to shield the airbag from these destructive elements. He gave me the tarping material he wanted used and asked if I could sew a cover.
Well, I did. With the measurement of the airbag Ed gave me, I created a little jacket for each airbag. It was a very simple sewing project - I pleated the material all the way around to create a curved sheath that would hug the airbags, and closed each one with a wide piece of velcro so they'd be easy to remove if needed.
Ed loves them! And they work.
I can now check this project off my to-do list!
