Thinking about this has just reminded me of something.
Why is everyone so fasinated with airbags these days?
I worked on road trains for a while, and they had enough problems with their airbags, and valves, and they only ran on-road.
The next trailer I build will use adjustable coil-overs.
If you make a batch of premium trailers, and someone rips an airline out, - word will get around.
In Australia, when the 80srs came out with coils, it took a lot of people a long time to believe that they were going to be as tough, and handle the weight that they used to put in their leaf sprung 60srs.
To me, using airbags seems to be building in a weakness - real or imagined, and greater complexity just for the sake of it.
And yes, I do have a compressor.
Theres something to think about.
Regards

Matt
