Lets see your campers being towed-forumrunner_20130622_100558.jpg

On our way out to the finger lakes for some wine tasting and relaxation!

Our gsd, Penny, is keeping close watch over our setup. Haha

Just wondering how many of you have put in air bags for towing travel trailers to help get rid of that bounce?

I plan on doing bags to help with that. That's the only compliant I have when pulling my TT.

I use air bags but I have a fifth wheel... My guess is they would work good for TT as well to reduce bouncing. Don't over inflate, you need to keep some bouncing. I keep mine at around 22psi

I installed airbags last Monday, I'm also interested to hear the reviews. I can post my experience in 2 weeks after my trip.

I had them installed on my truck when I upgraded to a 27 foot Dutchmen that weighs @ 7000 lbs. The bags helped to keep the *** end of the truck from sagging and made it easier to level things out combined with my Reese dual cam equalizer hitch. Truck handles better and there is very little sway with this combination. I have Firestone ride rite airbags... I inflate them to@ 30 lbs or so when in use

I added Firestone bags to help level the truck, but a nice unexpected benefit was it took the bounce out and stiffened the rear end with the trailer.

Really a no brainier and well worth the money

Returning from Disney World's Fort Wilderness Campground to Cleveland Ohio yesterday. 2,500 miles roundtrip and the truck towed great! Very happy with the performance of the truck. Had plenty of power and had no problem maintaining 65 mph on the uphill grades.

It was great pulling away from everyone at the toll booths in WV! Ecoboost is AWESOME!!

How did you like FW? I'm trying to plan a similar trip sometime over winter from Buffalo, NY but my wife isn't so sure of the idea. Any tips, dos, don't, etc? If you could PM your thoughts that would be greatly appreciated. Don't want to hijack the thread too much!
