Like 'hotrodds' said....That's the theory......

Which probably applies to maybe .1% of all airbag users.........

I understand about not leveling the load side to side with airbags,but I didn't mean max pressure on one side and min on the other,I just don't see how they would be safe if the two airbags were not isolated.....

Buddy of mine has a Big Foot slide in camper and he levels it with his airbags beacuse its heaver on one side, has for years, no ill effects, and he hauls a duel quad trailer LOADED when hunting. I personally don't see an issue, but I'm not an air bag manufacture. I never saw any warning on the instructions about keeping the psi equal. Could be wrong and just missed it.

Loose a hose loaded and you will understand my point, it's not fun with a 15k toy hauler on back nearly rolled it!
