I am currently considering purchasing a Hensley Trailer-saver hitch for the TV after our (engage sarcastic font) last, wonderful trip across our marvelously maintained interstates (disengage sarcastic font). I have a Trail-Air air ride pin box that helps, but it seems like a full blown, air ride hitch might improve things substantially. Anyone had any real experience with this combo or have insights plus or minus?

No wxperience using both an Air Hitch and Air King Pin, but some suggest that using both might be worse as they would tend to bounce off one another, but just what I've read don't know for sure.

I have a Hensley TS-3 with built in air compressor . love it you can see the trailer moving up and down and not feel it in the truck
Now about the two together I cant answer that but big rigs have air ride suppension, air ride cabs, and air ride seats all work together pretty good . Speaking from personal experience
Hope this helps

I had the MorRyde Pinbox and after market springs on my truck with Airlift bags and felt like I had a very decent ride quality considering the trailer only had Equaflex (NOT MorRyde equalizers).
Not sure if using Airbags might help the ride if your truck is riding on the overload springs whenever the trailer is hitched up. Upgrading the trailer suspension might help too, but would be expensive.
Seems like the Hensley hitch with the Trail Air pinbox would be overkill IMO, never heard of anyone doing it though so who knows?
I know what you mean about the lousy pavement quality on many of our roads out there...California has some really bad ones!

We have the Hensley hitch and it does make a big difference with the rough roads. We can adjust on the fly as we drive if the road gets rougher or smoother.
No experience with using both air on the pin and hitch but IMO two sources of air could not be bad. Maybe you should call Hensley to see about their experiences.

Never have considered the expense worth it. Have been pulling fifth wheels for 15 years with Reese and now Curt hitches comfortably. Like my 24K Curt just fine at a far lower cost.

Same here, use Curt 24k excellent hitch!

We have the BD-3 TrailerSaver and have been extrememly impressed with the performance of the unit and the service provided by Hensley over the last 4 years. The hitch eliminated all chucking, smoothed out the ride, and it is built to last. I have no experience using the TrailerSaver with an air ride king pin and agree it would be best to call Hensley. If you can wait, our experience it they give their best prices in December($200 to $400 off).
