Re: Morryde pinbox
Morryde pinbox update. I bought the pinbox and installed it by myself with little trouble and so far very pleased with the ride improvement. The ride is much less harsh, still feel the the trailer reacting to the road conditions but not the hard back slaps like before. I have traveled over 2500 miles in the last 7 days and i'm not near as tired as before. Glad I did it. Happy trails to all!!639Views0likes0CommentsRe: Morryde pinbox
Thanks to all for telling me your experiences with cushioned hitches. I do know a lot of you have much heavier rigs than ours and they probably react different to the same road conditions. We have the CRE3000 suspension on the 5th wheel from factory but no wet bolts, yet. I have adjusted the Companion hitch as far forward as it will go and lowered the air pressure all around for the loads on the tires. The bouncing is gone, but we still get the hits to our backs on the concrete joints and bridges. Not killer bad but it does wear on you after a few hundred miles. Age has made it more noticeable. The hitch is very solid and I have checked the pin weights by CAT scales before every trip. It is a new pinbox by the way.640Views0likes0CommentsMorryde pinbox
Our Cougar 27RKS weighs less than 9000 pounds and the ride ts not real bad and I have found a Moryde pinbox for $455. Will the ride be that much better? This question has probably been asked and answered many times but I am asking for other Cougar 27RKS owners if they have anything to say or add. My tv is a 2018 chev 2500 duramax which carries this 5th wheel very well.4KViews0likes22CommentsRe: Chuck chuck chucking
We had the same issue with chucking on a trip to Kennedy Space Center. I shifted the hitch forward, increased pin weight and lowered the trailer tire pressure. Took a second trip to Titusville (KSC) about 6 months later, same route, good old I95, quite a difference. I'm going to try and increase the pin weight more, it's at 20% now, maybe a bit will help. Good luck with your rig. The closest CAT scales is only 4 miles away from us so that helps.385Views0likes0Comments
