I emailed Sean about that last summer when you asked in the Forum in another thread. For some reason, I was in his Spam folder ( guessing I any him? :-) ). When he finally got back to me, I forgot to post his response. Here it is;
"I don't know of any customers using the 3P hitch with the AirSafe but there is no reason it would not work with the hitch bar adapted to fit the AirSafe hitch."
Here's my email to him including your question and my uneducated guess from the forum:
One guy asked a question that's kind of intriguing but would need your input. With caveats, I attempted some guesses but could you address this one? Here is the question and my (uninformed) response...
I didn't include AirSafe's site but you can see the pic I'm talking about here:

Thanks!

It does look great! We should get a read from Sean on this.
WARNING: unofficial and uniformed opinion to follow - don't implement anything I say here!!
I'm not sure whether it can be used with a PP/HA due to the stinger setup, although, there's a pic on their site that looks like you could bolt the PP/HA stinger to their Weight Distribution drop bar and continue from there. Their site says you would have to derate your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 25% if using that adapter. My hitch has a
1500 lb capacity so that would mean 1125 lbs max and my tongue weight has been near that mark - too close for comfort for my taste. I also don't know if inserting an airbag at the hitch messes with weight distribution capability. Last, I'm having trouble imagining how this would actually be physically compatible with the PP/HA hitch.... Take with a huge grain of salt - I literally have no clue what the heck I'm talking about here!! :-). Has anyone ever asked Sean about this?
