    Not to mention it is not only a violation to run deflated, but an OOS condition as well.

    NASOOSC 8) Air Suspension
    (a) Deflated air suspension (one or more deflated air spring/bag). (393.207(f))

    I’ve never seen a trailer that adjusted the brake pressure according to air bag pressure, 2 separate systems.

    Against the law or not, it’s right there in the Trail King manual where it tells you to dump the air and still travel.

    Suit yourself, but I’m not sitting on the shoulder because of a blown bag.
     
    Mattflat362 and Cam Roberts Thank this.

    That may well be on those fancy European trailers you run. I don't think NA trailer mfgs incorporate a lot of things included on your trailers because we haven't reached that level of regulation... yet.
