Are you talking about airline snubbers?

They were developed for use on the inboard mounted airbags. I an interested in any experiences with the foretravel outboard mounted bags were they have alot more leverage.
Thanks

We've talked about them several times over the years but no one has seen any value in Foretravels.

Our new-to-us has Hendersons on it.  Our previous coach had different suspension, so I am not a good judge.

I can say I sense no sway on uneven pavement, parking lot entrances, etc.

Last week, we spent five hours in 45Mph crosswinds in Oklahoma.  Pretty brutal day, but the "action" seemed to be more steering related.  Worst was when semis blocked the wind temporarily.  There were a lot of semis.  The wind was tearing the tops off the grass and sending them sideways across the highway.

In "non-gale" driving, I get about 1/2 second of the steering feeling indeterminate when the front of a semi passes.  About half of the feeling when the end of the trailer clears.

I hope this helps.
