I have a trailair pinbox, and centerpoint suspension on the trailer. Add a Viair compressor, a 0.5 gallon tank, and a pressire switch and you have onboard air. I ran the fill valve from the pinbox to the battery compartment (that is where the two valves for the centerpoint are) and I can fill all three in under a minute from the onboard air. I also fill pool toys, balls, tires (bike and trailer) off the system.
As far as ride, the combined pair absorbs most bumps from grade crossings, and all but the worst chucking. There is a sticker with the centerpoint, x psi per thousand lbs of axle weight. one setting for two axle, one setting for three. I have two valves, and was told the purpose of two is if one side is heavier ten the other, you could run different pressures on each side.
I have left coffee in a mug on the counter, without spilling a drop. I can see the trailer rock and roll behind the TV, and only feel the TV on the road. Believe it or not, the ride is better with the trailer attached then empty.
Only thing I don't like about having it done, was the wet bolts - some are pointed in , some out. Might as well have them all pointed out, as I have to pull the tires to lube them.
