TrailerSaver BD5 inflation/deflation

[BirchyBoy]

We upgraded to a TrailerSaver BD5 several months ago. No long trips yet but it has made a difference where we’ve towed it. One issue I had from day 1 was how to add air. The Schrader valve is on the side of the hitch and kind of low. Once the fifth wheel is attached it’s hard to get to.

I ordered some Flexx-Air valve stem extensions for the inner tires on the DRW and the quality is amazing. I looked at their site and found they make a 39” extension so I ordered one. It’s perfect and makes inflation or deflation so much easier, especially when coupled with my Rigid inflator.

Nice idea. Do you deflate your hitch for hooking and unhooking? I inflate my TS3 to the line at the beginning of my towing year and it will hold that air all season. I do carry my Makita cordless inflator in case I need more air for extra bedrail clearance during unique situations.

If you push Hensley hard enough, they will throw in the air compressor when
you put your order in...... the cost you ask , Free

Dont buy off the web page , talk to the sales dept on the phone.

I don’t but like the ability to adjust if I want to.
