Air bags increase tongue or pin weight??? Interesting!!

Well I did the calculation in towing planner.

With the air bags at 4.5 psi and the trailer on the TW of that trailer is 895 lbs. Not sure where they got the 1000 lb TW from

Its also 18.3%.

They are slightly off on their trailer weight. I think. Shoes here trailer weighs 4895 So they are 100 lbs lower...

Now at 55psi in the bags the TW according to towing planner is 1005lbs

And @ 20.4%

So looks like its accurate just a slight off # on thier tongue weight..


And inputting the WD here is irrelevant. They restored the front axle close to original ride height. This is back with the original no/wd and with wd..

So there you have it.... Get a 5th wheel thats too heavy and you have sag???? Air bags may level the ride but may make you go over your axle ratings if your close in that respect...

Interesting to say the least.

Ha ha ha... Im not stirring the pot, but just saying is all..

Hey its winter in NJ. I need something to do...


I know I know.... Its only 110lb increase... .... he he...:S

They did some smoke and mirrors with the #'s at the end of that video I would assume....

Moralof the story ... Do the math...

At least I think my math is right..

Hey they are good sales men...
