I'm traveling from Colorado to Pharump, NV.  I will be boondocking along the way.  I would like to travel w others.  If anyone else is making the trip Please let me know.

Mine does have some identifiable characteristics, grey stripping with an orange tool box on the back.

Thanks for the great information!  That really helps!

Thanks for the help/advise.  It's good to hear from somone about their experience springs or airbags!

That was my thinking too.  I replaced the shocks last winter in Yuma. Does anyone have any experience w upgrading springs vs airbags?
