Shocks
I don't know why travel trailer and 5th wheels don't have shocks.Ive searched and found a couple of kits, has anyone installed one of these? They're pretty pricy and I really want to know if it was worth it.

- My Arctic Fox does.
My last TT didn't so I added them. Well worth it. - My plan is to add trailer Sumo Springs IF the bounce gets too much for me.
They should absorb the compression hits like a shock absorber, easy install, less wear and tear. - I haven't had issues but there's baby carriages with beefier suspension. I was looking for a real person's experience and I thank you for your replies.
- My Outdoors RV TT came with shocks and a CRE3000. Rides like a Caddy over bumps. The only bumps I feel when towing are from the trucks rear tires hitting rough patches.
Those aftermarket kits are expensive but worth it if you're having ride issues with the trailer. I put shocks on my last 5er as a DIY. Bought the shocks and welded brackets.
If you have a standard non cushioned equalizer then I'd install a cushioned one 1st. That may help enough. - My TT/toyhauler did. But I sure wouldn’t pay extra for shocks.
