    All videos I've seen so far were for towing hitches (both 5th Wheel & Gooseneck Ball) and everything else but nothing yet on the brake control both on the trailer side and Pickup Truck side. We have two (2) such trailers (Hackney Super Goose Trailer with dual tires tandem axle) in combo with Chevy C-30 Pickup Truck. The combinations were equipped with "vacuum-hydraulic" brake where the trailer brakes can be set to brake slightly ahead of the Pickup Truck that tend to straighten the combination when the brake is applied even while going on a curve, a very helpful feature in going downhill on a winding roads. Does such brake control for heavy towing only?

      I noticed that too. I went to the website and looked through the install instructions. There were actually three installation variants addressed - one was the full strap version. They illustrated that as the center support, with the others for forward and rear having different end bracketing for correct track and a drop down variant. I did not see the half bracket strap variant - but it could be due to when they were produced or some other factor.

      Hi Jack, yes I did put 3 on. I think it does make a difference. Stability on rough road feels better and tight backing also better. The Middle seemed to be the most important, at least based on how bent mine were. I've also heard of a lot of people breaking the rear brackets, so I'd rate that one high too. If I bought another camper tomorrow, I'd install them again. Good luck!

    • @rvengineer2300

      I had the camper unloaded (no need to make it heavy with water, etc), leveled, wheels chocked on both sides in both direction, then I used Jack stands to support the side when I removed the wheels just as overkill, a jack stand with a bottle jack built in (my personal favorite for working on the camper or truck) to support and raise the axle, and then I believe I also used a floor jack with the block on occasion to manipulate the leaf springs into place. It's been a few years, so my memory might not be perfect on where I was using bottle jack vs floor jack. Good luck! Still very happy I did it.

    Good video. Of note, the same issue happened with all 5 of my cameras on my 2019 F350 pickup. Ford had a recall on them and replaced each of them. Interestingly - my tailgate camera was foggy and it faced north (out of the sun) 95% of the time. The front view camera which I never used and faced the sun 95% of the time - turned COMPLETELY black! I never knew it until the Ford tech told me. Anyway - you showed several grits and polish in the video - did you use just the one grit on the lens? I'll go back and rewatch it - but thank you - I have contacted Furrion and will wait and see what they want to do first. My camera is a Furrion Vision S sharkfin style. It was a $500 camera.

    Well done video. My 2017 Road Warrior triple axle toyhauler came with CRE3000 equalizers but stock shackles and no wet bolts?? I purchased the Morryde heavy duty shackle kit with wet bolts. Additionally I purchased the Morryde X Factor crossmember but had to purchase separately the CorrectTrack adapter plate kit to mount the crossmember. I get a tremendous amount of stress on the suspension during tight turn backing with 3 axles. I see you installed 3 of the crossmembers. I am debating where to install and how many crossmembers I will eventually install. I have some obstacles (sewer drain lines) that wiil not allow crossmember install at all 4 locations (front, rear spring hangers and both CRE3000 equalizer locations in between) I also notice you have installed disc brakes. Did that come on your rif or was it an upgrade also you installed? Can you share details? Thanks

    • @rvengineer2300
      @rvengineer2300 Рік тому

      I agree the stress seemed to be worst when backing. I've very happy with the product 2 years in. I made another video about the disc brake installation. I did it all myself. The wiring was probably the trickiest part because I wanted to use some existing wires to the pin box. I found a great diagram that helped me out a lot that I cite in the video. In general, suspension, terrible tires, and braking systems seem to be not robust enough if you really want to use your camper. I feel a lot more confident towing knowing I've made the upgrades (even though the second you touch something, Lippert won't warranty it). Good luck!

    Thanks for making this video. I have the same fifth wheel as you and am considering adding these to my suspension overhaul that is in the works. When I spoke to the MORryde rep today about these cross members, she informed me that they wrapped around the leaf spring and equalizer hangers rather than needing to attach any hardware in the inside of the hangers as you have done. This would be needful as I am having some V clips welded on between the hangers for that lateral support. When you did this upgrade, did you have that option? I see you don’t have those V clip’s between your hangers allowing you to attach these cross members as you have. Also, what has been your experience since installing them?

It was supposed to be equipped with disc brakes, but was not due to parts shortage the dealer said. Stop your trailer.com supplied me with s 72" flexible hose and a 24" flexible hose plus the tee with zip tie. That comes to a little over 8 feet. The calipers on my unit are only about 7 feet apart. After speaking with Bill Halasyn, I used up the extra by wrapping hose around the middle of the axle. Makes that part a little more exposed, but its not a large amount. I used the bands and rings as you suggested and also wrapped the flexible hoses with loom as you did. Makes a neat looking job. I guess your calipers must be a little farther apart. Thanks for your response. Tim Wallace
