With our roads getting worse and worse I am considering doing some ride conversions. One being an air 5th wheel hitch. Since I run a mega the options are somewhat limited. The one at the top of my list is Trailersaver, I like that they are a well established company and the product looks top of the line. So anyone use one? I am not sure if I am going with the remote or manual slider.

My other air upgrades are going to be seat, kelderman 2 bag rear suspension, and maybe an air receiver hitch.

You have another option that will probably be more practical and maybe a little cheaper. Go with a good automatic slider hitch and an Air Pin. The Trailer Saver will not give you fore/aft cushioning, so why go with it - - an air pin will do the same thing and you can still have the slider.

Since I never tow the same trailer twice air pin boxes are out.

Actually, the TrailerSaver does give fore\aft cushioning. It's in the design of the pivot point. Any shock in the pin box can only absorb a small percentage of the shock. The only way to get it all is in the hitch itself.

We'll hook you up with owners if you'd like to talk to one.

Could you explain more how you can get fore aft movement without up/down movement when the hitch is on a hinge. From the small pictures available it appears the head will only move a small amount fore or aft when and if the head moves up and down. And, it further looks like that movement will be in the fore direction when the head goes down and aft when the head comes up. What if that movement is not what is called for in that particular moment? Curious, not arguing.
