Added Shocks to the Camper Last Week
I completed shock absorber install last week. I used JohnB's fabulous write up on adding shocks for this install. Everything went well and I'm very pleased with the results. Attached are some pictures...

The shafts on shock absorbers rust during periods of non-use. The relative short and strong action of trailer springs don't work well with shock absorbers. The benefit is small for adding maintenance to a crude suspension system.

How much suspension travel is there in the rear of a truck? Probably the same as a loaded TT. Take the shocks of that crude leaf spring suspension on a truck and see how it rides.
Made night and day difference on ours.
BTW, why would the wheel movement on the TT be any less than that of the TV? They're both running over the same irregularities.
Also, I've never done maintenance to any shocks on my vehicles.. Don't know what that would be but I'm about 10 years behind on it what ever it is.
