airstream ride?
Is there a bumper pull manufacture that builds a trailer that tows as well as an Airstream?

I don't care about the aerodynamics.....wife has a bad back and I am looking for the best smoothest ride. We have tried everything that we can afford to sink into the Dodge dually and whether it is empty pulling a trailer or with truck camper it is just not tolerable for the wife at all. And I did get allot of help on trying to make it work and I suppose I could spend 5k and get the better ride but not doing it on that old of a truck.
So we are looking for either a small 5th wheel pulled buy a newer 1/2 ton or a trailer.
If your issue is the jerking from frost heaves, concrete expansion joints rough roads, there is a possible solution. An AirSafe Air hitch. We have one, tow a 35ft 9,000lb trailer. with the airsafe trailer reaction in the truck from frost heaves, expansion joints etc. is almost completely eliminated. you can see the trailer front moving up and down on the heaves but don't feel it affect the truck.
Before and after on some of the same roads we travel was a dramatic improvement.
Now the downside, One, it isn't inexpensive, two it is heavy, over 100lbs.
And of course it doesn't improve the unloaded ride, so you need a comfortable tow vehicle to start with.
However, it will work with most WD hitches, a hensley or similar may not be compatible, but reese dual cam, friction type, etc. are compatible.
