Anyone have experience with Airsafe hitches?

Thanks for everyone's comments. Sounds like it is a good system. I am a weekend warrior but the roads I've been travelling on lately have been horrible. We take the camper out once a month for 4 days at a time. Next year we are planning a month long trip (already saving gas money for that).

I'm basically looking for anything that will help smooth things out. I bought the Dexter E-Z Flex kit but it hasn't arrived yet. I also plan on getting some better quality tires on the truck and eventually the camper.

Good to hear from actual users. I was more concerned about it`s durability with a WD hitch! glad to hear they work so well.

What others said ^^^. It is heavy but works great with or without WD.

I've been using a Class V AirSafe since 2006. It works just as AirSafe says. It really does help keep things smooth and stabilized by allowing the suspension of the tow vehicle to articulate without affecting the trailer, and vice versa. Any less wear on the transmission is not really possible to discern, but anything that keeps things from jerking around is probably good for eveything.

I've had the Class VI for 4 years now, put about 20K miles on the trailer.

I love it, but here are some things to think about before spending the bucks

1) on roads with frost heaves or concrete expansion strips it made a huge difference in towing ride and comfort. none of the jerking I was noticing before. DW loves that.
2) It works very well with a WD setup.

I've running about 1500lbs tongue weight and use a Reese Dual cam WD setup.

what are the downsides
1) weight. it is heavy, around 100lbs, I use a harbor freight small roll around dolly.
2) Cost. If you only tow a few weeks a year or not very many miles, or on good roads, it's a pretty expensive solution.

as for the claims of less transmission wear etc. I'm sceptical. The real advantage is the decoupling between the trailer and tow vehicle movements. On frost heaves I can watch the trailer moving up and down without jerking the truck hitch up and down jerking the truck up and down

But, as I mentioned, for us it is a great product, does what it says, improves the ride on many roads we travel on. But think about your roads, and how much time you travel, and the cost. decide if it is for you
