About this video:
In this episode, I sit down with Allen Wilkens, the man behind AirSafe Hitches, to talk about what makes this hitch so unique and why so many Airstream owners (including me!) swear by it.
Allen shares the history of AirSafe, how it began with his dad over 20 years ago, and clears up common misconceptions about tongue ratings, weight distribution, and airbag maintenance. We also cover:
✅ How to properly maintain your AirSafe hitch
✅ When (and if) you need weight distribution
✅ Tips for towing smoother and reducing front-end stress on your Airstream
✅ The difference between AirSafe, Shocker, and Gen-Y hitches
✅ Real-world towing results — including my own 8,000 miles of experience with it
If you’ve ever wondered whether the AirSafe hitch is worth it or how it actually protects your trailer and tow vehicle, this deep dive has the answers.
