Updated 05/01/2017 | Published 04/29/2017
Question:
When you disconnect the truck from the rv do you have let the air out of the bag every time? I was told you have to let air out before you unhook I just had one installed 18,000 on my toy hauler.

For the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328492 referenced in your question, you do not need to let the air out of the bag before unhooking the trailer from your GMC Sierra 3500. Letting some air out may make this process a tad easier, but it is certainly not required.
I just recommend letting the air out before putting the trailer away for long term storage.
