How the Air Ride Hitch Works for Fifth Wheels
|
This is a n example of a truck and Fifth Wheel trailer without the Air Ride Hitch. Notice how the truck and trailer are locked together. That's because they are. This type of towing causes the truck and trailer to act as one. Any road condition will cause the two to react to each other. This is an unsafe condition. You may have noticed some of the effects; bouncing, swaying, jerking trailer and trucks cracking and breaking apart etc... These could cause you to lose control of you truck and trailer and also increase the damage to both!

| This is an example of a truck and Fifth Wheel trailer with the Air Ride Hitch. Notice how the truck and trailer are independent. That's because they are. This type of towing allows the truck and trailer to act as two. In this towing situation the two units are separate from each other by the use of Goodyear Air Springs. By allowing the two unit to be independent, you prevent road conditions to effect the way the two react to each other. Bottom line is, when your truck hits a bump or hole the trailer is not effected buy the reaction of the truck. Same goes for the trailer. When the trailer hits the same bump or hole it doesn't effect the truck. This prevents the chain reaction of the two units and in turn provides a smoother, safer ride and protects your investment from breaking apart. |
