This is why I have an air bag hitch! (video)
I finally got around to shooting some short video clips of my Hensley BD3 air bag hitch in action. The only downside is the roads I was on were in great shape and very smooth. I was just moving my rig from storage to my house. The REALLY nasty roads will be next week when we head to California. Even so, you can still see how much motion is absorbed by the hitch rather than being transferred to the truck and my back! LOVE this hitch!

That looks like a _really_ nice hitch; I'm surprised at the amount of motion. I'll bet your trip to CA will be really smooth. But... Ouch! Pricey...

Yeah, it's not cheap but we bought it before we retired
There are some stretches of road in CA with lots of expansion joints and the MORryde pin box really helps with chucking. It's a great combination.Brian & Kellie

You should edit these 3 videos into one video and post it on youtube. There is very little quality footage of the BD3 with MorRyde on the internet. I'm sure alot of people would appreciate the video. This is great footage. But yes, sooooooo pricey, but you get what you pay for.

OK, I finally took your advice and made a single (shorter) video. Here it is: https://youtu.be/R9xj6b3FOcE

We also have a air hitch though ours is from air safe. I believe all of the air hitches do a great job. We have had ours for 4 years and have nothing but high praise for it. Marcy has a bad back and after spending what we paid for our trailer I wasn't going to go cheap on the hitch when I could make the ride so much better for Marcy (myself too).
