What a Great Video. I've said the main reason for so many mechanical problems with RV trailers is they are being "Shaken Apart". This video proves that point. You did a wonderful job explaining & with the video showing the "Before & After" I posted this on RVillage Community, I hope it will inform others as well. Thank You Guys.
On the ride home from the dealership with my 375RES, both kitchen sink inserts ended up on the floor after the 10 mile trip which included 5 sets of railroad tracks at a very slow speed. From that point forward I taped down inserts with painters tape before every trip. After the installation of the IS I drove 250 miles home without the tape and the inserts stayed in-place.
I ordered our new 5th wheel in January, and immediately contacted MORryde just to talk to them. Soonest appointment they had was 11/17, almost a year. I understand they are out over a year now!
Fantastic footage and truly shows the stress of the road on those leaf springs. Grand Design should partner with MorRyde and make the upgrade an option. Thank you for the info - great video!
Totally agree! We just heard about a partnership between MORryde and GD where they are using the MORryde shackles now though, which is a great step in the right direction!
Night and day difference for us too. We traveled to Elkhart on I90 eastbound and took I80 westbound back to the NW. Much smoother tow headed back west. Morryde was great, even provided lunch. If any of your subscribers are considering the upgrade(s) try to time your trip around one of the many factory rallys. We got a SIGNIFICANT discount compared to your quoted prices during a recent national rally.
I went to the Novi, Michigan RV show today and went to a MORryde suspension seminar, the guy mentioned your channel and this video in particular so I had to come home and check it out right away :-) Great job!! Looks like an awesome upgrade and perfect for full timers or those who travel thousands of miles every season with their TT or 5er.
Hey guys, great video, and the shots of your undercarriage are spot on, which convinced me that I.S. is the only way to go. However, I don't believe the interior shots really show the whole story. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but by "hard-mounting" your camera to the body of the coach, any movement would be transmitted to it as well, making it appear that nothing actually going on inside, which I am sure was not the case. Maybe having the camera mounted to some sort of dampened spring mechanism would more clearly show what is going on inside. That said, when I order my new 5ver that will be the first upgrade I'll have done, then would come solar. Be safe, have fun & happy camping. v/r, TS Denver, CO.
Hi Tyrel, that's something to think about with the interior shots. The GoPro was mounted to our fridge, which is in a slide. So any movement in there would still be shown. Also, when you look closely, you can see the opposite side in our kitchen (dining room table area) actually moves up and down, which is pretty scary! When I was looking at the after footage, that slide didn't move at all anymore. Also, when you look at the shades and vibrations in the sink and lights you can see a difference there too. It's hard to always get a perfect shot but we wanted to keep things as comparable as possible.
What a coincidence. I put the MoRyde system on my toyhauler in April. Saw your install video right after and got jelly since I went with the CRE 3000, but did add new leaf springs as well. Trailer tows much better now and every now and then, like when I'm turning, I can see how smooth the trailer clears driveways and handles bumps. Was going to do the IS but it wasn't recommended for my trailer frame, and also the IS and brakes require your vehicle to do hydraulic over electric, so for now the 3000 system was at least an upgrade. Thanks for the update and great footage of the suspension 😀.
Great video! We are watching this as we sleep the night in the bay at MorRyde getting the IS & disc upgrade! They are a class act here and we can’t wait to feel the difference on our travels.
@@slickwilly4613 absolutely we feel the difference even just pulling out of the MorRyde factory. There is a set of railroad tracks and they were a night and day difference.
This was a great “Before and After” demonstration! I was wondering since I watched the install vid if you would notice a difference. I would be interested to see a review of your solar system and how well it works for you.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it. I'll add a solar review to the topic list 😄So far it's been pretty good but we'd love to throw one more panel up there eventually.
A+ video guys. It answered the questions of ‘huh? Upgrade suspension?’’ I’ve not seen anyone show a long good video of before n after & comparing. Gave one a chance to study the differences. Cheers 🍻.
OMG!!! All RV manufacturers need to incorporate the independent suspension on their rigs! When I get my rig, independent suspension will be added. Thank you thank you for sharing this information!
Wow!! Very informative!! Now if you are full timing, I would definitely see a need to change them out like you have and have an RV that you plan on keeping for quite awhile but for a weekend or a week here and there getaway family maybe not. But it is VERY AWESOME the way you put this video together for ALL of us!! Thank you so much ❤️😊
Thanks, Amy! We appreciate your kind words. And we totally agree with you, we get it's a major investment. But that's why we also mentioned the MORryde shackle upgrade at the end too, much less expensive and still totally worth it for weekenders!
It's always been said that taking your rig on the highway, is like putting it thru a 8.1 earthquake every time.!! The independent suspension changes that dramatically!! Thank you for the video.
We've heard that too and it definitely feels true to us! We were shocked how much smoother our ride was after the upgrade. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for your kind comment!
Great video I upgraded to the Independent Suspension in August and I think it makes a big difference. I really see how much difference it makes after watching this video. Already had disc brakes and love them. I have broken leaf springs and it is kind of scary not an experience I want to have often.
Hey fellow 375RES folks. Having experienced that leaf spring breaking issue, and GD stepped up and took care of us, yet I'd love to upgrade to what you've done. One upgrade at a time. :)
Haha we totally understand that! Sorry to hear that you've experienced a broken leaf spring, hope it didn't cause any damage and you were able to fix it quickly!
Twice Said ,I know But it Needs to be. what you guys did is amazing! This needs to be an option from the factory or offered on all pull behinds. Twice Said " to be an option from the factory " Grand Design !
I currently have a 2019 Grand Design 285bhts, I previously owned a 1990 Holiday Rambler 33’. The HR had MorRyde and was absolutely superior in the way it felt/towed down the road. My 2 cents
Thanks for taking that time to do this. One thing a lot of rvers don’t really think about. Nice comparison videos! Are you sure you didn’t just turn off the stabilization for the camera? 😂 jk. I am curious of the strength of these axles long term. We own a Wrangler and in the automotive road/off road world most people want the solid axles for strength, clearance and articulation abilities. Your new independent suspension does look beefier than the old axles though. Safe travels!
Thanks! Glad to hear you liked the video. And yes, we promise we didn't turn off stabilization 😂Not sure about them long term but we know MORryde offers a five year warranty, which is awesome.
WOW! An amazing difference with the before and after vids. Makes me want and run out and upgrade mine especially after heading west from Lubbock the to I 40
This is a great video it makes me feel very appreciated of that we also installed the independent suspension on our rig haven’t got a chance to enjoy down the road just yet but we will soon
Very good update and I'm glad it worked out so well for you! We did the same upgrade about a month ago, and unfortunately aren't yet seeing a positive change. We are actually seeing our stuff being jostled around quite a bit more than ever after the upgrade, and this really concerns us. Waiting to see what MORryde says about it. BTW we have a 375RES just like yours.
Hi Bob, that's very interesting to hear. Did you also do the 8K suspension? Have you heard back from MORryde? We'd be curious to hear what's happening.
@@GetawayCouple Hey guys! Yes we did the 8K suspension and disc brakes as well. I've been in touch with MORryde several times, and they had me do measurements of the spring deflection and also checked the actual types of springs they put in. The deflection measurement was outside the normal range, and they say it looks like the right springs were installed. But they wanted us to come back to Elkhart to get it checked out and we're 1.200 miles away in Texas so not an option. Plan B is for them to set something up with a service center in Houston so they can check it out, waiting on that to happen. So still not happy after all the money to actually have a rougher ride than we started with. Hopefully it gets resolved soon. Take care!
Great video as always .I think this should be offered as a option by Grand Design. i hope they see your video. As a retired auto Technician i was thinking adding this type of suspension or at least shocks may also cut down the cost of components failure for Grand Design and owners of their rv . Thank you for taking the time making this video
Glad you liked it, thank you! We just recently heard about a partnership between GD and MORryde where they will have a package that has their upgraded shackles. Which is a good step in the right direction!
Pretty impressive demonstration. I broke a shackle once (in AK) and broke a leaf spring in OR. In both cases, it wasn’t that inconvenient getting it fixed but still better if it didn’t happen at all.
You weren't far from breaking some springs. They were flat, and that driver side front spring top leaf was bending down where it met the 2nd leaf. That's a failure waiting to happen. Good choice on the upgrade.
Awesome video topic, one of my main concerns had been the RV industry continues to push the limits on the axles systems. Was actually looking at possibly upgrading to 8k once I purchase. I do agree with others this should be common on all trailers, rather have a safer rig over a bigger tv or refrigerator
Wow what a difference - but wow the cost! its getting more and more that a motorhome ishte ay to go from a $$$ perspective. between my 89K rig, my 92K TV, i coulda been in a really nice Class A!
@OTAS: Well, not really: A "really nice" Class A doesn't even start until you get around $300K/diesel pusher. Below that and gas engine? Most are crap. :-( However...you CAN get a very nice Class B motor-home for under $300K! ;-) -- BR
It looks like the leaf spring were pushed down flat with no arch at all. This is like no spring left. That makes the ride rougher than having some spring left in your springs.
Have you weighed your RV with all of the upgrades post installation including the batteries, etc.; IS System, and all cargo? When I spoke to MoRryde, they stated the 8K IS system w/ Disk Brakes adds ~ 700 lbs to the RV, yet does not increase GVWR. The GVWR for a GD Solitude 375RES (we have a 2020 380FL) is 16,800 and if we were to add the 7K IS (~600 lb.) or 8K IS (~700 Lb.) system to our RV would put us overweight, and with all cargo onboard translates to between 17,400 and 17,500 lbs. If so, would your RV be grossly overweight as well? If stopped by a DPS Trooper and he weighed the RV would lead to a hefty fine...your comments and feedback are welcome before we more forward with a MORryde IS system.
I need to add to my comment, I spoke to Grand Design today and they stated that the GVWR does not change and that by adding the additional weight of the IS system would reduce the available cargo capacity even though the axles are part of the frame. They stated that law enforcement will always revert to the manufacturers GVWR label no matter what mods are made to the frame (i.e. IS Systems). Can you provide your thoughts on this as we would really like to add the MORryde system but not be in legal peril.
I agree with you both but there is something else different - the frequency of the shaking. It's higher frequency shaking after the upgrade. Not meaning more frequent but look at the lights hanging from the ceiling. They vibrate faster... so to me it means the wheels are reacting faster/better to the road inputs. Less stuff moves around like Rae mentioned. I think it's a good upgrade, dramatically smoother on the underside like Mark said.
John W after watching this vid I checked out the system they put in. I’d do it in a heartbeat if I lived in my trailer full time. It’s pretty amazing. Only towing a couple times a year long distances , $7,000.... damnnnnnn
Hi all! I think John hit the nail on the head with his comment. To add to that, we know the higher frequency of the shaking inside is because it's a slightly stiffer suspension. This is because we opted for 8K since we were almost at our max weight with our old 7K. When we were talking with MORryde about the 7K or 8K they let us know right off the bat we'd have a slightly stiffer suspension with 8K but we were totally ok with that.
Not at all! We've actually had to lower the gain a few times to finally get it perfect for us. The trailer brakes were so good they were making us slow down faster than we wanted to lol.
At 7:20 or when viewing under your RV... there is a crack as you look at the screen on the right side. Looks like what is protecting the undercarriage of the RV.. Check it out and make sure is nothing serious.
Hi Hector! We looked at the video and see what you're talking about. We looked under the rig to double check and it's just extra glue material they used to seal up the underbelly. We're all good, thank you! Good eye!

Wow, thanks for sharing that. Now your coach is moving, because it is, not shaking, vibrating, nice

Thank you! Informative and very well done!

Looks like your old leaf springs were already flat. Good choice changing over to IS.
Great video! I was in the fence about doing that upgrade, now I’ve made the decision! How fast do you tow your rig?
You will not be disappointed! Tires for rigs have a speed rating and you should not exceed that.

Hey guys, have you had to change a tire or "jack up" your rig after having the Morryde I.S. installed? is the jack point really low for you guys?
WE ARE READY FOR FALL AFTER THIS VIDEO
Wow what a difference - but wow the cost! its getting more and more that a motorhome ishte ay to go from a $$$ perspective. between my 89K rig, my 92K TV, i coulda been in a really nice Class A!
@OTAS:
Well, not really: A "really nice" Class A doesn't even start until you get around $300K/diesel pusher. Below that and gas engine? Most are crap. :-(
However...you CAN get a very nice Class B motor-home for under $300K! ;-)

Is this still holding up today and what is the required maintenance of this system?
It looks like the leaf spring were pushed down flat with no arch at all. This is like no spring left. That makes the ride rougher than having some spring left in your springs.
One thing I did notice is that you don t have near as much ground clearance with the more ryde system. Mike
"The I-80" lol Please next time you are in Nebraska on "The I-80" around this time of year...visit Vala's Pumpkin Patch!
What kind of maintenance do you have to do, on this new independent suspension system? Thanks!
You still need to grease your bearings once a year and replace the brake pads when needed!

good video, Thank You
How much weight did this add to your rig?
Looks like the interior after shot shakes a lot more than the before..
You’re right. Underneath vids was a dramatic decrease with the new setup. Inside looked like dramatic increase... odd
I agree with you both but there is something else different - the frequency of the shaking. It's higher frequency shaking after the upgrade. Not meaning more frequent but look at the lights hanging from the ceiling. They vibrate faster... so to me it means the wheels are reacting faster/better to the road inputs. Less stuff moves around like Rae mentioned. I think it's a good upgrade, dramatically smoother on the underside like Mark said.
John W after watching this vid I checked out the system they put in. I’d do it in a heartbeat if I lived in my trailer full time. It’s pretty amazing. Only towing a couple times a year long distances , $7,000.... damnnnnnn
@@webcompanion Spot on analysis. I was thinking the same, looking at the high freq harmonic in the lights.
Hi all! I think John hit the nail on the head with his comment. To add to that, we know the higher frequency of the shaking inside is because it's a slightly stiffer suspension. This is because we opted for 8K since we were almost at our max weight with our old 7K. When we were talking with MORryde about the 7K or 8K they let us know right off the bat we'd have a slightly stiffer suspension with 8K but we were totally ok with that.
Hi, do you ever experience any brake fade with the new disk brakes?
Not at all! We've actually had to lower the gain a few times to finally get it perfect for us. The trailer brakes were so good they were making us slow down faster than we wanted to lol.
I’m imagining all the mud up in the suspension! Lol
lol oh it was a lot! Spent a good amount of time at the campground getting all the mud out of the suspension after that.
At 7:20 or when viewing under your RV... there is a crack as you look at the screen on the right side. Looks like what is protecting the undercarriage of the RV.. Check it out and make sure is nothing serious.
Hi Hector! We looked at the video and see what you're talking about. We looked under the rig to double check and it's just extra glue material they used to seal up the underbelly. We're all good, thank you! Good eye!
@@GetawayCouple Good to know.... safe travels
Speaking from experience, to get a better ride in your pickup... get a chevy! The ride is significantly better, and in my opinion, more power!
oh no the suicial deer hahahha
