I don't mind paying extra if it's that much better. On the other hand sometimes I wonder if I really even need it. My fifth wheel pulls so good now. It's never been sketchy pulling it I was just always under the assumption that you should have them. Do you think there really that necessary if have no towing issues. Or are they more for fixing an existing problem?
IMO there is only ONE reason NOT to have an onboard compressor, not wanting to spend the money. Way to many advantages having the onboard compressor.
Have had two trucks with onboard air, first one I went a few months without, didn't take long to know that is was not the way to go for me. Big advantage is changing the air pressure on the fly, and have done it several times when towing to improve the ride.
Sounds like you don't need them , mainly they are to level up the truck, if thats not the issue I would save my money. Many tow fifth wheels without airbags ,they are not a must.
