Airbags

Hello
Has anyone out there installed or have any experience with airbags
I’m thinking about installing them on my 2019 Precep 29v
I’m hoping they will help with the body roll
Thanks JWH

Not the same animal but probably close chassis wise. We installed them on my parents 2014 Precept 31ul (light F53 short wheelbase chassis). We used RideRite with the integrated jounce bumper.
A word of caution. You have to be careful when on very unlevel ground, you can and will over extend/stretch airbags and pull them apart. We were always cautious of this until a very long day/night of travel and didn't pay attention while we leveled unit at midnight. Bag pulled apart. The good news, because jounce bumpers were built in, we aired down and ran on factory springs until we could order new bag. Luckily only one side failed.
Ride Rite must have had complaints about this as they created metal spacers for the bags to help minimize or eliminate this issue. We put 2" spacers in and have not had an issue since. We still are cautious on overly unlevel spaces, but so far so good. The bags and Air Compressor system have been in service for 4 seasons of camping and improve ride and side to side sway pretty dramatically on the short wheel base F53 chassis. We run Sumo's in front and bags in back. HUGE improvement in ride and drivability. No more "tail wagging the dog".
