I recently test drove a 5291 with airbags and it rode really well with 50 pounds in them. I spoke to a second owner of a 30.5' model 5291 who added airbags and liked it, he's here on this board his name is Bill from Vaccaville.
I just bought a 5291 without airbags and unloaded it is a dream to drive, the first 200 miles anyway.
I see Gulf Stream has added leaf springs, and even moved the generator forward for some customers. They also have strongly warned owners NOT TO ADD AIRBAGS.
Anyone care to add to this? I don't know why they protest the addition of airbags when owners say there is such a benefit. I'd hate to roughen my ride with added leaf springs. Not sure how shocks will change sway, etc. Was down this road with a Bigfoot camper on a F-250 years ago - it proved to be quite the rabbit hole.
Please, share your thoughts!
