Yes I have lots of hare brained ideas and quite proud of some of them! Has anyone tried the bellows type air jacks for leveling? I have a 02 Roadtrek class B and it seems like anyplace I park the front is too low. No suspension issues, just the nature of things. I always carry a compressor so air is not an issue.

I think you will find it rather bouncy but I can't see any safety issues.

I recall the air pillow things from 10+ years ago. A friend just mentioned these last week. Not sure if they're available in the US.

Aside from turning the RV into a bouncy house, it seems like a complicated, expensive solution to some wood blocks or plastic stackers if you’re into spending money vs scrap lumber for leveling.

From looking at the air bag type they look like they would be fairly bouncy. I dismissed the bellow type for the same reason. Until my neighbor bought one, they have a telescoping shaft inside which makes them much more stable than say an air spring, which they look like.

My bus conversion had a 3 point air bag leveling system, worked exceedingly well. Been using boards for many years and a bit tired of it.

Well maybe they’ll be more stable….
Not sure if it’s comparable to your bus though.
Was the bud air suspension that you could manually level with or singular unsecured bags like you pictured?
I’ve leveled the truck camper by inflating/deflating add on bags as well. Big difference if it’s got the stability of the vechile’s road suspension attachments or not.
