I don't have the parts together yet but plan on installing components to drop pressure in the air shocks on my Bushtec remotely.
I'm sure the EC unit is a quality unit but I can't justify the cost. (I also hate remotes) I am planning on installing a 12 volt solenoid bleed valve in the trailer controlled by a pushbutton switch up front. Will use the accessory wire that runs back to the trailer to power the valve . I plan on installing a self powered light in the trailer since I normally need a light when unhooked.
To operate:
1-Load the trailer.
2-Overpressurize the shocks with the appropriate pump.
3-Get on the road and depress the switch until the wheels verticalize.
4-If you screw up and let out too much air, go back to 2.
Parts should run $30 compared to $300 for the full blown EC system.
Anyone tried this yet?
