Good Morning.  Well I pulled my trailer for the first time Monday on the Air hitch I got from you.  All I can say is an emphatic WOW!  What a difference.  MUCH softer ride not unlike my Trailblazer.  If you have any future customers “wondering”, I am more than happy to help you out.  Thank you.

I wanted to also tell you that when we picked up our new 5th wheel, the entire service and sales dept came out to look at the hitch. They could not believe what a well made product we bought. My husband showed me the hitch they tried to sell us, and I compared the two; it kinda scared me to look at the quality (or lack of), and just overall durability between the two; there really was no comparison!

Thanks again.

Have taken our first trip with the new hitch, 4 hrs drive, very impressed, will definitely be the subject of conversation at happy hour. Hope i can send more business your way. Thanks 

Terry Greentree

Thanks again for your help.  Its nice to talk to someone who cares.  I have told so many people about this hitch and how great it is I hope I have generated sales.  While we were on the road it was unbelievable how many other people came to look and talk about this hitch. I could honestly tell them it was the best buy I had made since we started doing full time.

I show the hitch to anybody that will look at it, Love the thing. I told my wife I will buy only one hitch in my life, this thing is wonderful. I just hauled my Cougar 314 bunkhouse 140 miles into the Sierra up a rather nasty stretch of road to a Fellow Fish and Game'rs land. 160 acres and none of it is very flat. With a bit of work we were able to level the trailer, but the truck was still well off level. Any other hitch would have been problematic but not my 25K. I aired her down a bit to take the tension off and slid right out. Re Hitching was just about as easy. A quick squirt of air after I got contact caused the low side to come up and I slid right on, and got a positive lock on the first time. 6 seasoned Game Wardens, and several neighbors stood there with their jaws dropping, and a couple just walked away shaking their heads.  Almost all of them have had or currently have RV's, and I made believers out of em.  Thanks for making my world a bit more fun.

P.S. They had a side bet to see how many trys it would take to hook up, NOBODY took the ONCE option.... LOL  That pot went to charity but the credit goes to you guys. Matt

We bought one of your hitches about a year ago, and couldn't be happier. You never know that there is anything attatched to your truck. We haul a 33' fifth wheel RV and we also use it to haul 12, 1200 lb round hay bales on another fifth wheel. Exellent. I would definatley recomend an air ride to anyone I talk to.

Lloyd, after having my advanced air rider hitch for about a year and a half just wanted to let you know we are very happy with it. We just got back from a 1000mile trip towing our 37 ft KZ New Vision Toy Hauler, and had no problems at all with the hitch. In fact it was interesting watching the trailer move up and down and us not feeling it in the truck.

Hello everyone.  We stopped by in early Dec. at  your shop and picked up our hitch.  We have had nothing but a smooth ride  since.  After we got our hitch and got going we put on over five thousand  miles.  You can't believe how many guys were out with their pencil and paper  taking down the info off the hitch. Last year on our way to Texas we went via New Orleans and then across interstate 10 and I said I  would never go over that road again, and that is coming from a resident of Pa.  which has the worse roads in the nation. So I said to my wife, "we may as well  test our new hitch and go across interstate 10 in Louisiana."  If I didn't know  better I would have believed they paved it all since last year. Smooth ride,  good job,and great service.

This is Scotty in Canada.  I am going to be presenting the 25K advanced air ride hitch to Trailer Life for a press release and I am putting together an article for the new magazine from Primedia called Diesel Power. The air bags have held air all the time, even in -45F weather and it functioned flawlessly.  I know some air bag products on the market cannot boast this benefit in the cold COLD Climate I am in.

I purchased my hitch earlier in 2004 but have just recently used it for the first time.

My wife and I traveled from Raleigh, NC to Tarpon Springs, Florida for Christmas week. I could not find a teflon disc that was thin enough to work with the hitch so I sanded one down to 1/8". The disc connected and worked fine. The hitch performed fine on smooth roads, in fact we did not feel 5th wheel unit at all, it was like it was not there on interstate roads at 68 mph. On rough concrete roads it dampened the expansion joint roughness by about 50%. On roads that were rough due to truck traffic it dampened the roughness about 80%.

All in all we were very pleased with the hitch, we just wish states would grind their concrete roads when they get rough. It is a simple cost effective option to improving their roads.

I did have to perform a emergency stop once, and I was concerned on how the hitch would perform, but it did great.

We want you to know we are extremely satisfied with our air ride hitch. We traveled to tn. From ca. In the month of may and i had to keep reminding myself that my 40 ft 5th. Wheel was behind me.  The air ride hitch was the best investment i made besides buying my alfa 5th. Wheel.

I did trailer the RV for the first time on May 26, but that was not much of a test for the hitch.  The real test came last week on a trip to Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, including many tight mountain roads, as high as 6000 feet in elevation.  The air ride hide worked quite well.  Interestingly the best view of the hitch and trailer I had was while driving at night I could easily see the differential movement of the truck and trailer.  I've had the truck, and the complete rig weighed.  Truck empty was about 7,000 pounds, rig weight was 21,500, with the truck at 11,500 (tools and generator in bed plus about 3,000 pounds on the hitch).  The rig handled great.  With such a large rig (dually truck and 37' trailer) it gets noticed by folks, and I always tell them to check out the hitch.

Here are the pictures of the automatic adjuster that I set up on my 32k hitch.  The two pieces that are circled in red are the only parts that I had to fabricate. The main reason for putting this system together was to eliminate having to crawl into the bed to adjust the air pressure.  With the system in operation, the height of the hitch will always remain the same no matter how much weight is on the hitch.  The advantage of this is that I can move cargo around in the trailer and not have to worry about readjusting the air pressure, because the ride height of the hitch will not change. Another nice thing is that I am able to put an air pressure gauge on the system and can judge how much weight I have on the hitch just by the air pressure in the bags.

Just made our first trip with our new advanced air fifth wheel hitch and couldn't be happier with it.  Our last trip with the old standard Reese setup was 460 miles in one day over mostly 2 lane country roads. We got home feeling like we had been mugged.  The old bones got shaken and jarred for the last time.  Your hitch eliminated,  as you advertised, about 90% of the back and forth bucking and jarring making for a far more pleasurable and softer ride for passengers and trailer.

The Freightliner FL60 and 5^th wheel always get a lot of attention and I proudly show off the Advanced Air Hitch and explain to everyone all the research I put into the various hitch industry offerings and why your hitch is so superior.  I can’t tell you how glad I am that I bought this hitch.  I expected it to tow better, but I didn’t expect how smoothly it makes both the Freightliner and the National Palisades 36’ fifth wheel tow.  The three-axle Palisades tops out at just less than 18,000 lbs and I hardly know its back there.  Before mounting your hitch, the truck and trailer were battling each other, especially on roads under construction and those notorious concrete seams that used to rattle the whole rig. 

The hitch design is vastly superior with regards to road elevation changes, angled driveway entries and exits and all manner of road surface anomalies.  I have a camera on the truck that looks directly at the hitch.  It’s amazing to see the truck move sharply on a construction road surface elevation shift and see the trailer float across the same surface without the jarring change in elevation that the truck just took.  The 6-way articulation (front-to-back/side-to-side/up-and-down) is so smooth and damps the road surface changes so well that the truck and trailer seem to be connected by a cloud.  In essence, I guess they are.  The truck ride is also much smoother than I had thought it would be.

We expect to use our Freightliner and 5^th wheel for many years and I feel safer and more at ease knowing that the Air-Ride Hitch is protecting our $160,000 investment.  To me, it’s not an expensive hitch, but rather it is cheap insurance against trailer frame and contents damage.

The hitch installation on my class 8 truck is going smooth. I recessed the mount plate into the frame as shown. Final ride height in the lowest (14") position will be 43.5". This puts my pin height (47") exactly in the middle of the 7" adjustment available. I'm pleased with the construction of the hitch, and looking forward to getting it under a trailer.

Don't have the Trailersaver Air Hitch, but have the 8-way independent action fifth-wheel hitch by Advanced Air Hitch, Inc. in North Augusta, SC. They shipped the hitch to my  local Chevy dealer, and the dealer installed  it.

We just  returned from a 6,500 mile trip that included Canyonland, the  Rockies, Vancouver, the Badlands, and a lot of highway driving -- and during the  entire trip, we found the Air Ride  hitch to be well worth the few extra bucks it cost us. When going down "bumpy" and undulating roads (including those concrete highways with seams spaced "just right" to make the  bumps very obvious), in the rear-view mirror, you could see the trailer constantly going "up and down" on the air hitch,  but not affecting the truck and its  ride.

And because the hitch's airbags and shocks allow it to pivot in all directions, I  have yet to find a camp site that  presented any difficulty in hooking up or unhitching -- regardless of how  unlevel the ground was. And the locking  mechanism is positive and easy to tell that the kingpin is in  place.

Once we readjusted the height of the hitch everything seemed to do very well.  We could see in the mirror how well the trailer rode over the rough roads. The truck did not jerk us like it did on our way out to SC it was a much smoother ride on the way back. We are delighted with the hitch.

My wife and I just returned for a 3000 mile vacation

with the new hitch.  We could not believe the

difference in the ride. Thanks for a very nice hitch.  We

love it.  I would by it again in a heart-beat just the

way you built it with no modifications.

I installed your 25K 5th wheel hitch and tested it today.  In August I purchased A Trailer Saver TS3 hitch and installed it on a brand new 1 Ton Dodge Dually and departed for a 6,000 mile trip. The thing almost destroyed my Teton 5th wheel. It was ok until I got on the worn out concrete I  80 in California. It was so rough our stomach was sore from the front to back  jolting. Today I traveled the same stretch of highway with the same Dodge and Teton but your hitch. I couldn't believe the difference. Almost no bouncing and  a super ride. All I can say is your product is superb. If I can provide a recommendation to anyone have them email or call me.  The unit was  well packaged in wood cases and arrived unscratched. No problems with install.
