Got to ask what types of roads are you driving on and how fast?
We hit a road buckle once, like a speed bump at 45, the TV didn't do too bad (Bilstein shocks) but a could have sworn that the 5er left the ground! There were no shocks at the time on the 5er. No issues with closet doors, wiped out three door shelf's in the refer.
Do you have great shocks on the TV, and shocks on the 5er??
I39 in Illinois. super highway. I haven't been on much else in the 10,000 miles on the FW. 39 is either like glass, or like 4x4s laying across it. I run G614's, and was doing 70mph. tv and trailer tire temps about 8 degrees above ambient, cold temps at 95. no shocks on FW.
I also have a trailair triglide pinbox.
the sign said 'dip', right at the depression. no other vehicles around so I didn't have any forwarning.
the closet in question is directly over the pinbox.
on the TV (2012 ford f350 dually) I run Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks.
