2003 Winnebago Vista 21B Air Assisted Suspension question

Hello everyone! So glad to be here! The wife and I just recently bought out first RV. Decided to go with a single owner 2003 Winnebago Vista 21B. We figured this would be the perfect little RV to get us started in the RV World.

While going over it the other day I noticed the rear Air Assist Bags are pretty old and brittle looking. From what I was told, this Vista uses the VW Euro Van Chassis. Is this correct? Also any help on a direction to look for new bags would be great. I have tried contacting Winnebago but it keeps ringing then tells me all circuits are busy. So I have come here for some advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also I am looking at getting a backup camera. I am looking for something nice that can be mounted up high (not on bumper or plate frame) as I will be pulling my Quad as well and would like to have full view of it when pulling as well as when its loaded up to make sure nobody is messing with it.

And, if any of you have any tips and tricks for this specific model that would be great!

Here is the Winnebago Brochure for the 2003 Vista. It is in fact on the Volkswagon chassis. Try this company for your parts

Thank you so much John for your help. Funny thing is I was just on their site looking to order a new Decal Kit for it haha. I also have the Manual and just went through and saw they used 3T's for the air assist. Just gave them a ring and got a price quote from them on new bags, lines, and fittings. Guess I jumped the gun on this thread.

I know this is an old post, but it is misleading so I will add some information for future searchers.
The 21B was made using the VW Eurovan, but only the cab forward portion, not the entire frame. That is why the front and rear tires on new coaches were different sizes.
They actually came to Winnebago from VW like this photo shows.http://www.irv2.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=29967
The cabs were fastened back to back for transport.
