Moryde cre 3000

[Maxi1966]

Greetings. we have a 252 RL. 2026
We had it for almost a year in Aug.
we have about 500 miles on it and spent 3 total weeks in it so far.
We love it. A few issues. Nothing major.
I am very handy.
We live in AZ. We are considering Installing a cre 3000 upgrade suspension and new wet bolts.
Has anyone installed those and what is your input? Supposedly we will have a smoother ride and better absorption of energy, especially on rougher roads.
We are planning a 6 weeks trip this summer all the way to northern Montana.

We installed both the 3000 and wet bolts on our 26 foot Grand Design. It does help, and it was the first step I took in my suspension upgrades. Actually the last too, as we purchased our 340RL before I went further. It won't be life changing but it will reduce harshness in most applications. Your towing experience will be smoother, you'll actually have less chucking (physics dictates this), your trailer will be less reactive to road surface imperfections. If nothing else, all things being equal, it theoretically should reduce wear on the trailer too. Summing it up, hits will feel less sharp and the trailer will feel more settled. You probably have very cheap (quality) equalizers on there now...not sure...so this is an upgrade that makes sense if so as it is well engineered and durable.

If you want to go a step up, either of these are worth considering. Either will improve your towing experience much more than an equalizer upgrade. Not that it matters what we were going to do, but if we kept the Grand design, the Roadmaster was what we were going to install. Bounce control, porpoising, harshness, road shock improvement will absolutely be significant with the Roadmaster. The timbren uses walking beams, same idea as a concrete truck...load sharing and walks over imperfections when axles are close enough together. Walking beams manage the engagement of the hit whereas the Roadmaster will too but damps at both compression and rebound...huge improvement. The Timbren will only damp meaningfully on compression, so there is less energy to give back on rebound, but the rebound is still uncontrolled. Apologize for the long post...no idea why but I love suspension stuff on all my vehicles. Not an expert by any stretch, but unashamedly a suspension "enthusiast" or nerd maybe?

Mike, Good information. I have my eye on the Roadmaster Comfort Ride slipper springs.

Hey George. We talked to one of the Roadmaster Reps. They are pretty proud and confident of that product, rightfully so. The rep told us that if he were installing it on a rig of his, and there is no reason you must do this, but he would pop a weld on the frame bracket. I never learned how to weld, unfortunately. So for guys like me, and if you agree with the rep, you'd have to know or pay someone who knows how to weld.

Thank you for the fantastic answer. I actually like physics and it sounds logical the “softening” of any road imperfections.

My pleasure! I can talk or type about suspension, motorcycles, cars, trucks, RVs, all day long (I don’t but could!). Plus I’ve taken a boatload of stuff from others here and I like to give back when I can. Still have more questions than answers on RVs!

Don’t bother with the cre3000, a better alternative is the slipper spring set up….I am not impressed with the cre3000 on my toy hauler.
