HWH Active Air
I have read multiple articles on HWH Active Air about how you can level without using the Jacks (nice) and stability during emergency lane changes. (also nice) For those who have the Active Air, I have specific questions as I would really love to have this installed. The side to side roll or whip while cornering or going across a parking lot where the coach is rocking side to side is aggravating.
1. While traveling down the road, does Active Air adjust for side to side roll? Meaning is it easier to move about the coach without having to grab onto walls?
2. I’ve been on several roads where there are several curves while traveling 45-55 mph. Will Active Air eliminate the back and forth roll?
3. Turns- Turning at a traffic light will Active Air eliminate the roll during the turn?
4. Turning up a small dip or traveling across a parking lot. Will Active Air eliminate the side to side roll.
Any input from those who have Active Air is greatly appreciated.
Also. Any know problems with the aftermarket installation?
Thank you

Will it eliminate any of those conditions? No. Will it help greatly with them? A big yes!
My system was installed in April of 2019 and I have no issues whatsoever.

Here are several post from those that have had HWH installed and their experiences. One has a complete photo post of the installation. Quite a list of satisfied people with a lot of answers to your questions.

A friend and I travel a lot together. He has 2019 Cornerstone. My IH45 has outside mounted air bags and Active Air. He says he can not even stay with me when the freeways or side roads do sharp turns.
Sometimes he complains about the cross winds and I do not feel them. The only winds I have felt is when I was headed into a 20+ mph wind that was between cross and head on.

Active Air is worth the $10 grand it will take to get it installed. My opinion ... but also the opinion of everyone else I know that bit the bullet and had it done. I’m not sure if your passenger can walk around much better when traveling, but where it matters, it really works. I.E. turns, emergency situations, etc. And leveling and staying level with just air is great! I love being able to see exactly where each of my pressures are .. front, drive and tag. Would I do it again, in a heart beat.

Enjoy your stay in the building up on the rack! Nothing much to do in the area, so you can easily catch up on any reading you have been putting off! It will be worth it, however.

I wrote this about HWH, and had it posted in the ECOA newsletter. It's well worth the investment!

I haven’t heard anyone with Hadley change to HWH. If you are interested, maybe call HWH and talk to them about it. The earlier Anthems didn’t have Hadley ... all Cornerstones did, so maybe someone with a Cornerstone changed, but I haven’t heard of one.

I was asking because in that article the HWH is judged to be much better than the Hadley. May be the difference is not worth a change?
