TrailAir's web site http://www.trailair.com/ has a dealer locator. I had mine installed at the factory for $888 while they were installing the centerpoint suspension.

Traveler II wrote:This is our first fiver but we ordered it with Trail air and air center point suspension. The ride is not bad, not as good as our MH, but not bad. As I said this is our first and we really don't have anything to compare it to. We have some chucking & bouncing.
We have the easyrider/reese airhitch and trailair center point suspension. Never had bouncing or chucking ever. Traveler's story is good but I believe a MH will ride better because of bigger tires and possible air suspension if it has air. I also feel the air products make the truck ride better because of the fifthwheel riding better. (example) I-84 though Boise Idaho is rough and we feel every joint but looking at the alpenlite it isn't moving hardly any. The air product are for the comfort of the trailer and we think ours doesn't really know it is on the road. More air products now than in 2001 when we bought our air hitch, enjoy. chevman

I don't have anything to compare to as this is our first. We have MorRyde pin/suspension with a standard Reese/Drawtite hitch. The chucking is acceptable. I'm sure sure how much you can get rid of. There are some times that we hit seams spaced just right to where I have to change speeds a couple MPH to even it out.

I converted to a MorRyde last year and it's by far the best money I've ever spent. The difference is night & day and that's with a standard Husky hitch. The best part is, it's a do it yourself install and once installed, it's maintenance free. Best bang for the buck so far.

CW was selling 5AB for about 700 bucks last I knew. Add another 100 or so for installation. They did ours, but I didn't get my stock hitch back either (last year). Am VERY happy with the 5AB. Plus I have Timbrens on truck. Between the two (not that the Timbrens aid in chucking and bucking), VERY happy with how both work.

Here's an 'animated' look at the movements of several hitches. This was posted on here several months ago, and I found it quite interesting.
(I use the TrailAir - PullRite 20.5K Hitch - MorRyde Suspension, and am very bhappy with this set-up).
Good Luck...enjoy the journey,

MorRyde Susupension with a MorRyde pin box. Really smoothed out the chucking on rough roads.

The Demco Glide Ride gives a great ride! If you DIY you can get out for around $600 +/- depending of freight to your location. Very easy to change out, an hour at most.
See ya down the road!

Look on Ebay for a company selling the Fifth Airborne. I got mine on there and it was great. They offer the absolute lowest price, and reasonable shipping.
I think it was Radauto or something like that.......$597 plus $59 shipping.
