spindrift Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Anyone with experience of having added and/or designed an RV to include an air ride suspension? I'm currently evaluating the differences between the MORryde IS and Kelderman suspension systems.

Ken C Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Spindrift We have a 2005 Teton 36 Experience w/ Mor ride airex suspension. We have only had this trailer 2 years and the only thing I have had to replace was the height control valve. It seems to ride quit smoothly since the air ride changes the suspension to independent suspension. You now have the ability to adjust the height of the trailer, the higher you go the harsher the ride, much like on an air ride hitch.This trailer has air ride and dis brakes in all 4 places. Hope this helps roadfitter SKP 96308 2005 Teton 5th whl 2000 Kenworth T2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsinc Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 After looking at what they have I think I would just make something myself. I have the skills and the equipment to do that and not sure I like theirs as much. Quote Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Burkett Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 I know Spacecraft has built 5th wheels with air ride suspension, but don't know who's it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappir Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 There are many axle companies I think. Spacecraft used Ride Well for my trailer. They came with all the components attached to the axles including tires and wheels if I remember correctly. I wanted to supply my own tires and wheels but it was one of the very few times Marsha said no. Mine has Drum brakes, but the newer ones have the option of disc. I would have gone with disc if I had the option. Will never wear the shoes out, but if a wheel seal goes bad you need to change them.
