Hello All

We recently downsized from a 1997 35' Class A to a 2017 BT Cruiser 5291. Except for some minor headaches caused by some poor assembly workmanship (that's questions for another thread and another time) the "settling in" has gone well.

I need advice on one issue: The rear end and hitch is so low that I come very close to dragging going up and down my driveway (and that's empty). There is less than an inch of clearance between the rear of the coach and my driveway. I would like to add a set of airbags, not to increase the carrying capacity, but just to get the rear end up a little bit more. However, the generic Gulf Stream owners manual says no air bags or it will void the warranty. Has anyone installed airbags to keep from dragging the rear end? What is the danger in doing this?

I have a sticker by the entrance door that says, "Ride enhancement by MORryde" or similar wording. Does anyone have the same feature on their coach? What is it and what does it do? I can't find any information

Thanks for your help

Mike
