New Saver-Slide by Trailer Saver

For those of you with a lot of money (you know, Big Sky owners, Cambridge owners, Kodiak owners, etc.....) ,

TrailerSaver has just introduced a new Saver-Slide model which is essentially a TS3 air ride hitch with a semi-automatic slide system. As with the TS3 - this fits into your existing rails for the majority of hitches. The TS3 is a great design in itself.

The Saver-Slide unit comes complete with an internal compressor and control system that levels the ride as you drive using a magetic sensor to maintain the height. It also has a remote control release that activates pneumatic actuators on both side of the hitch and allows you to maneuver the slide without getting out of the truck. It also has a positive wrap around lock for the pin - which eliminates, not all, but most of the concern that might lead to a bedsaver (not sure if one would fit).

Pretty nice setup and looks like it is built well. Not totally impressed with the slide lock configuration - but Aaron says they have put it through a rigorous test.

Downside - cost $3,800 big ones. Over $1,000 more than the TS3. It is part of the 10% sale for November by TrailerSaver.

Brad,
You are right. That is quite a hitch combo (and especially for 38 big ones !). But I doubt that the "slider" option would be needed with the new Monty front end scallop. It looks like it should give a smooth ride, although we have had little to no chucking on our standard Husky 16K hitch. But, it is nice to dream a little for that something in the future (Better to keep this from my DW - LOL).

$3,800, that's more than we paid for our entire first camper!

wow what a hitch but the slide is a waste of time I have a slider and don't need it now that we have the new monty with the new style front cap 3800 big ones is a hefty price but I'm sure they will sell enough of them to make it worth there while
