California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
This is by far the best air hitch and set up for my Airstream trade wind trailer. Hook it up, set the air pressure and hit the road. It’s way smoother towing and the gear inside my airstream camper isn’t bouncing around either. Very impressed the the Shocker max air hitch.
It definitely makes a different on ride comfort so much smoother I have not tried this way control yet. Will try that when I head to Arizona very happy thanks.
It works very well
