air ride pin boxes

[Sweat]

I am new to fifth wheels, and need to know which pin box will end or at least reduce movement> Wife does not like noise!

Hi sweat,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum. I'm sure you'll get lots of advice shortly.

Boy isn’t that the truth.

Ill jump in and just say we pull 3270rs with an Andersen Ultimate hitch. There is no room for movement in it.

There is a lot of love for the Andersen hitch. I use the FlexAir kingpin along with a Reese Titan 20 hitch. This provides a pillow ride for the RV and no pushing and pulling on the truck passengers.

Love the Anderson and FlexAir combo. Quiet smooth ride.

AS far as I know, there are two air PIN BOXES: Flexair and Fifth Airborne. There are also a couple ( not sure of exact number ) of hitches that are air mounted. They all will improve ride comfort. Do not know about the noise - what noise bothers your wife?

Presently i have the TrailAir that has work well to reduce chucking as well a good ride. However, the new Blue Ox http://www.blueox.com/super-ride/ looks to be a great choice. I am seriously considering it for my next trailer truck combo..

Previous coach: 5th AirBorne and Reese 16k hitch. Combo was very good and vastly improved (5th AB ) over stock pinbox. New coach: 5th AB and B&W 18K Patriot hitch. All over previous set up. Love both for ride and quality. Wife bought a turnstyle knife set from Wal-Mart that has a whole bunch of other items on it and it sets on counter besides stove. Thing doesn't move! Not saying the B&W is light, but built!
