Air Shocks or Air Bags on TT
Thinking about adding airbags or air shocks on my travel trailer to improve the ride and to allow very easy side to side leveling. Thoughts?

I'm sure it has to do with cost more than anything else. Most trailers (caravans they are called down under) from Australia have this feature and there are three or four aftermarket companies that will convert your leaf springs to air. YouTube is full of videos on it. But at $4K to $6K it is too expensive for a simple $30K travel trailer...
Wow, airbags for pickups in the states are a few hundred bucks...but again what else are they adding to make it viable as a stationary leveling system.
Of course, hydraulic leveling systems are a few thousand and quite common, so I doubt it's a cost issue.
