I've been looking at the TrailerSaver hitch, wanting to reduce stress on BC and the Ram. Everything I have read in the past year seems to be positive.
This morning I found a thread on the Turbo Diesel Register that had a strange point of view. The thread reads as follows:
Interesting. Being a full time RV'r and work camper I get to talk to a lot of people with trail airs on their 5th wheels. All seem to love them. But recently (few days ago) I as talking to a service guy at the RV place I was at for some repairs and he said: "they seem to help but Lippert will void your frame warrantee if you have one on" - and they even make them ? Humm, I found that interesting. He felt they took some strain off the truck but added it to the pin box. My opinion was, more moving parts equals more things to wear out, but then again I do like having suspension on my truck-and that has moving parts so I guess I am torn on what to think about them. The one thing I can say is that on a 5er every one seems to love them, I have yet to see one on a tag trailer.
Has anyone else ever heard of this?
If this is true.....there sure are a lot of people spending some pretty big dollars to add extra stress and possible damage to their RVs. I plan on checking with Lippert on Monday to see what their response is to the claim of the warranty being voided.
