Pnumatic car jacks for leveling?

[jjrbus]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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