Shocked I got my camera open in time.

Looks like they are towing appx 25ft enclosed trailer.

Are those ac units up top? And I'm guessing that forward compartment is for a generator? Anyone have a guess how heavy it is? I'd guess around 6k or so. Truck was squatting a bit but not bad

Adding an onboard air system and bags would take care of that easily...
I am not experienced enough to chastise so don’t take this as I am. ONLY stating that I have seen that air bags are not the proper way to fix the sag, that you should use a weight distributing hitch.

Oh no worries dude, I appreciate the kind response to a subject that I thought I knew the answer to. I stand corrected, a WDS is the proper way to fix a sag from towing and airbags are used for fixing a sag from hauling.

So lets talk about air bags a bit more .. if someone installs a lift with softer rate springs, would air bags be a good assistance when towing with a truck with said lift?

I am pretty tempted to hook up my 30ft TT and tow it around a little just to see how the TRX does.... Would certainly get some funny looks!

Thank you! But I traded that that camper off just because did want to the extreme weight on it. Just towed long enough to trade it in. Truck looks a lot better now that I got my decals, tint, and tonneau cover on it.

Nice! Where'd you get the stickers?
