Hey Campoholics! We show you how the Curt Air Ride Pin Box performs as its mounted to our Grand Design Momentum 395M. Nobody likes a bumpy, rocky ride. The CURT® Air Ride™ Pin Box allows you to tow and ride comfortably with its shock absorption technology that keeps you calm, collected, and cushioned. It’s time to finally tow with the comfort you’ve been longing for. With the CURT® Air Ride™ 5th wheel trailer pin box, rough, uncomfortable rides as you tow your 5th wheel trailer are now a thing of the past! The Air Ride incorporates an internal air bag and built-in strut that absorbs road shock and vibration which reduces chucking, jarring, and bouncing, providing a smooth ride that improves handling and limits strain on both your truck and your trailer. We went from the standard pinbox to this Curt Air Ride by Lippert and we've done about 3K miles and love how it performs.

What do you think about the CURT Air Ride?
great video, I was thinking about the Morryde but rethinking now, thanks
@@tg9388 In our e opinion, the Morryde is a big rubber band, that's why we decided to go Curt.
@@TheCampoholics thanks for the tip! Next item I'm researching is replacing my CRE 3000 for 4000 or maybe the Road Armor setup, not sure which is best.
I was looking to swap out my pin box to a Gen Y, but rethinking after watching your clip. Thanks for posting!
@@demartinsm8479 Cool, thanks for watching! Im still a fan of it.
We went with the Curt Flex Air, game changer as far as I'm concerned, smooth is an understatement.
That sounds great James, thanks for the input!
I never knew how much that hitch moves and absorbs. That’s really amazing!!!
How bout it! I thought it was pretty cool to watch it in action. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been using this pi box since 2018. It’s great! It has about 8k miles on it. It was still branded Lippert when we bought it.
We have about 32K on ours and still going great.
I'm amazed at how much movement there is that would otherwise be transferred directly to the hitch.
Yep, it’s crazy how much abuse that pinbox absorbed. Thank for watching!
Great review Mike!
Thank yah! Nothing but love!
Yes it will he traveled that going back and forth to Florida and Virginia a couple of times and it's like riding a wild horse 🐎
Heck yeah! Beat the he’ll outta yah!
Great footage! We’re on day two of I-95 SB from Delaware to Florida (stopped in Savannah for the night). I’d be afraid to see what my hitch and pin box looked like. Yesterday a house plant spilled in the camper making a mess and today an egg broke in the fridge. 😂 Could definitely be worse though.
Last year the bike rack bounced so much that one of the handlebars from my kid’s bike dented the back of the camper. Thanks a lot SC DOT. 😒
That road through SC sucks. No other words for it.
All SC roads suck.
That looks smooooooth!
Its sure is!
Been on I95 several times down to FL it is not the best of rides for sure
You betcha!
Thx for the video. New to 5th wheels and we noticed while towing when we hit a dip in the road the back of the trucks bottoms out real hard. I have air bags on my 3/4 ton diesel, made several adjustments but I still bottoms out hard. It's not a heavy 5th wheel (10,500lbs). Any advice? Thank you
We also installed the Lippert Center Point Air Suspension. A video will be coming out soon. In the meantime here is a link to the product. amzn.to/47YEh1O
How long will the air bags last in the sun and wind ? Will the crack over time ? Is it best to cover up when not in use?
Those are good questions that I can't answer. I can ell you, you can replace the bag if needed. However, the bag is thick, well made rubber, like a tire. I do keep armor all on it to cut down on the UV rays.
I’ve had mine since 2018. Stored outside until 3 months ago. Not covered. Bag is fine and holding up well. Birds do like to lay nests in it.
Are you still loving the pin box?
I am, it's a beast of a pin box.
Just put one of these on my rig so newbie question...do you air it up to full 100lbs before or after loading the camper onto the hitch on the truck?? Thanks
Hitch it up and then air it up to the arrowhead. I find that will have it about 110 psi.
Air it up to the arrow on level ground after hooking up. Mine only goes to 80ish typically. More if I’m carrying a full load of water.
What happens when the bags rupture or go flat for any reason
You can replace it, is that what you looking for?
What is the part number for that hitch?
amzn.to/3CjlFeY There yah go!
Hopefully if we switch to that hitch the Alberta roads will stop shaking the screws out of this fancy trailer from grand design
Is it any longer than the stock box
Yes it is!
About 2 ins longer, from 18" to 20"~; if this is the "Long Jaw" version.
Do you use a lube plate? If so, what size?
We sure do, here is a link to the Curt lube plate. amzn.to/3Egg8qG
@@TheCampoholics Thanks!
I'm taking delivery of a fifth wheel, tomorrow that has an Air Ride pin box. I also have the B&W hitch. Before you relied, I was going to go by the clip of the video that showed the pin box width to be overlaping the hitch head. I measure the hitch head to be just over 12". Your link was to a 10" disc. Wouldn't a 12" disc be better? @@TheCampoholics
@@rdance3 Ive been using a 10 only because it was available at the time. It's been working fine for me, if you can get the 12, nothing wrong with it.
Do you still ride with 100 to 110 psi in the air bag? I just traveled with the similar hitch but mine has the added rubber pad. I only had about 80psi in my bag but felt a lot of the bumps in I-95 in SC. I thought 80 was high so I might want to try adding 30 more psi.
I do still travel with about 110. 120 Was to high, so 110 is the comfort zone for us.
I don't like that they don't clear the bed rails on tighter turns without airing it way up.
Not really sure what you mean. You set the air when you hook up at the prescribed fill line. There is no airing up beyond that. Actually raised mine almost 2 inches more above the bed rails.
@@TheCampoholics I mean from the king pin to the back of the pin box is too long to clear the bed rail on a tight turn. Unless I air it way up to clear it. Like 100psi. 46' triple axle. Ram DRW.
I hadn't thought of that with the 2+ inches extra length from kingpin to wing set. It's going to put the back of the wing set into the bed rails that much sooner on turns.@@DavidSmith-ev1bd
Does this work with the wedge installed?
Please clarify? Not sure what you mean.
If you are referring to a slider hitch capture plate, it won't make any difference.
