Air bags were mandatory with my camper. Split lines. Makes a big difference in the ride too.

That's what I was wondering, did the same thing with my first camper with one line, bad thing about that is when weight is shifted from side to side like going around a curve /corner, the air will go to the opposite side leaving one side low and you end up with a sag on one side until it recovers. I fixed that by putting one line to each side, was like night and day on the ride and handling!.. :good

Another suggestion. If you ever have to take the camper off, release all the air first.

That is the number one thing on my list that scares the hell out of me. Those little spindelly legs just don't cut it. I won't do mine if even the slightest breeze is blowing.
