Air hitch vs Air Pin Box
I'm new to the RV world so I've got a 5th wheel on order and I'm also getting a truck (long bed) and need a hitch.
I figure if I'm going to be buying a hitch, I should consider all options.
In researching hitches and pin boxes to death, I've come down to this question...
Many of the pin boxes are designed to handle forward/back movement (lateral / horizontal movement) like the Mohr Ryde pinb ox. One, the trailair tri-glide handles forward/back movement plus up and down movement using an air bag.
On the air hitches, like the Trailer Saver DB3 or the Airsafe Airbox, I think they are only addressing the up/down movement. Some people seem to be adding pin boxes that address the forward/back movement to go along with the air hitch (like a Mohr Ryde pin box).
This is kind of a debate between the Trailair Tri-glide vs. air hitch.
If my analysis is right, it seems the Trailair Tri-glide is the cheapest way to get both up/down movement and forward/back movement tamed down. An air hitch plus a pin box is more expensive than a fixed hitch plus a tri-glide.
What input do you all have? Have I missed something?
