Mark W. Finds a Solution to His Towing Nightmare
4/25/2018
Nearly 15 years ago, Mark W. had perhaps the worst towing experience of his life.
Pulling a borrowed pop-up camper with his ‘03 Chevy Tahoe on his way down to Florida, the trip should have been a piece of cake. Instead, his camper rocked the whole vehicle, which caused a seesaw effect so terrible that all passengers became car sick.
Mark is from North Carolina, close to Fort Bragg, so he and his family typically take trips over to the beaches on the North Carolina coast with their toy hauler, packed up with motorcycles and scuba gear. These trips range from 2-4 hours and can cover up to 200 miles, but they do occasionally head on longer trips south.
As a guy who, along with his wife, is a Dive Master, being able to travel safely and comfortably to dive destinations is a must – they’ve already been down to Destin and Key West in Florida and have gone scuba diving in the Keys, but they have dreams of a lengthy trip to explore the Lower 48 states and Alaska in their RV.
In order to be able to take this dream trip one day, Mark knew that first he’d have to find a solution to his towing nightmare.
In the fall of 2016, Mark and his wife made the decision to buy their own RV – a 36-foot Forest River toy hauler, weighing in at 10,000 lbs. fully loaded. Knowing what happened with the borrowed pop-up, they knew that they were going to have to find an air suspension solution to make towing easier. At the time, he had a 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat Crew cab, all the truck he could possibly need to get the job done.
In order to ensure that his towing experience was safer and his ride quality was restored, Mark purchased the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate from Air Lift, and paired it with the WirelessAir compressor system. After having the system installed by a local installer, he immediately noticed a difference – a safer, and more comfortable ride, with no bottoming out.
