I would certainly agree with Matt. The bag appears to have a very small
internal volume, and that equates to a very high spring rate. Just by looking
at the pictures I would guess it to have a spring more than double and maybe
triple that of the standard spring. I don't see how it could give a
satisfactory ride, let alone provide the height adjust range talked about by
Matt.

This is not a solution for me. I park in more boatyards than campgrounds. In
one of the regular stops, the only place I can leave the coach/office/instrument
shop/tool crib requires that I let the port side all the way down to the stop
and the stbd as high as I dare to keep things from rolling off the table
(dinette) while I am working. If I can't get full travel out of the system, I
can't do that.

It does look clean and it may fill many others need, but doesn't JimK have a
single bag that does as well?

Matt
