There are some good videos that explain why air bags counteract a weight distribution system. I spent good money to have a good Weight Distribution with sway control. I am not about to spend more money to cancel my weight distribution system with air bags.
If your tongue weight is 727 pounds “dry”, most RV manufacturers don’t include the weight of batteries, propane tanks, and especially a full water tank (in case of boondocking). Seems to me you’d want a hitch with a higher tongue weight rating. My 10k (1k tongue weight) hitch is definitely strained on my 740 pound tongue weight travel trailer.
@@SETRAY21 Except for most here in the pacific NW. I searched all over and mine clearly states WITHOUT batteries or propane tanks. I couldn’t find any manufacturers specs that includes those items except for smaller single axle units.
All air bag manufacturers state that air bags do not increase payload capacity. It has been proven that air bags counteract weight distribution systems by shifting the weight back off of the trailer axles and, more importantly, off the tow vehicle's front steering axle, back onto the rear axle. Air bags are a bandaid for poor payload capacity in your tow vehicle.
I have this hitch, I have it set so I can load and unload by hand when the system is raised up. I want to add more load, make it so I need the tool to load the bars. My question, how do you use the tool to unload them? I have searched and search, no one shows that and looking at the tool I don't see how its done. The tool is in the way, and bars under that much tension are hard to lift up enough to get them up and onto the tool. Do you simply kick the bars off the brackets to remove them, let them snap down?
