Introducing the New Roadmaster
Comfort Ride suspension products
for multi axle trailers and 5th
wheels. Read why Trailer Life
Magazine called the sytem
"Suspension Nirvana!" The
Comfort Ride Series includes two
separate products 1) Comfort Ride
Shock Absorber and 2) Comfort
Ride Slipper Springs system.
These systems enable your trailer
to glide smoothly over the
roughest roads! The Comfort Ride
Shock Absorbers may be used on
their own, but when used in
conjunction with the Comfort Ride
Slipper Springs, this two part
system will
greatly reduce the causes of
Chucking - towing
vehicle is rocked forward and aft
when the trailer goes over uneven
pavement (dips, frost heaves and
the infamous bridge expansion
joints)
Axle roll-up -
caused during braking where the
trailer's rear tires are lifted
enough to cause a loss in
traction
Suspension rebound
- where one tire goes over an
obstacle, the trailer tips sideways.
After the tire clears the obstacle,
the leaf springs and the trailer
rebound like a pogo stick.
Comfort Ride Shock
Absorber system
The Comfort Ride Shock Absorber
system eliminates trailer bouncing
and porpoising. The adjustable
mounting brackets create the
necessary space to install shock
absorbers on your trailer. The
shocks are mounted nearly
vertical
to have the leverage to limit up
and down motion on both
compression and rebound. The
shocks are angled at 15 degrees
to the outside which enables
trailer weight to be centered over
the tires, helping control sway by
limiting lateral
suspension travel and side to side
rocking. Shock System install in
approximately 3 hours. The
Comfort Ride Shock system comes
with heavy-duty, nitrogen charged
shock absorbers and mounting
hardware highlighted in orange
below.
*Third axel
kits add parts to equip a third axle
only and require full 2 axle
setup
How to determine axle
diameter and capacity
Most axles have an
identification tag with the axle
capacity and axle diameter
Measure the axle diameter or
circumference
Contact the RV manufacturer.
They can decode your VIN to
determine axle diameter and
capacity
Comfort Ride Slipper Spring
System
Further improve performance by
adding the Comfort Ride Slipper
Spring System. The slipper
springs add independent axle
operation. In addition to
improved ride, independent axles
increase braking tire traction by
as much as 70 percent
because there is no axle roll up
that conventional suspensions
suffer during hard or panic
braking events. The Slipper
Spring System is an add-on to the
Comfort Ride Shock Absorber
System which is required. Shock
AND Slipper System
install approximately 6 hours.
The Comfort Ride Slipper Spring
System includes the parts
highlighted in green below.
