Had a Reese 5th Airborne on old coach and really liked how it towed and removed the harshness of things. Also had Reese 16K hitch. Had some chucking, primarily when starting/stopping. So when we ordered our BC 3560 SS, had another 5th AB delivered to dealer for them to install on it and I upgraded truck hitch to a B & W 18k Patriot. After we hook ed up at dealer, aired up the bag and away we went. 600 miles and no jerking or severe "blows" from truck to RV or vice-versa.
Will say that once home, am having a issue w/ air bag not filling to line and had to replace inner valve in valve stem, but these 2 things are totally separate from operation of the 5th. Like OP and others have said, IMO, pretty much cannot go wrong w/ any of today's air ride pinboxes.
