bouncing

Did it bounce on all roads or just some? We bounce on concrete highways where the joints are evenly spaced.

Bucking and chucking, especially when crossing bridge joints, was the main reason we traded in our fifth wheel. I always thought that a better hitch would have improved the ride.

just went on a 6 hour road trip and noticed this new trailer bounces alot. can you put shocks on to slow the bounce i dont think it has e-z flex. its a seirra select 329re. i just sold a newer crusader built by forest river also and it had it.

You probably can. You might want to contact the manufacturer and see if they sell a kit to add them. Also take a look at the frame yourself and see if you might have the brackets on the frame already.

I'm not a big believer in shocks on a trailer, but some folks around here are. Probably about a half/half mix. But in the face of an obvious problem like you have I would look into adding them.

But before I did that I would have the trailer wheels/tires balanced and consider upgrading the shocks on my truck.

I see that trailer has a remarkably high cargo capacity. Have you tried running with full FW tank?
