Protect Your RV, Your Safety, and Your Investment
Your RV’s suspension system is one of the most critical components affecting safety, handling, and long-term structural integrity. At California RV Specialists, we regularly inspect fifth wheels and travel trailers for suspension-related issues that often go unnoticed until serious damage occurs.
Recently, we performed a detailed suspension and frame inspection on a Grand Design Solitude, where we identified concerns involving cracked RV frame areas and damaged MORryde CRE3000 equalizers. These types of failures are becoming increasingly common and can lead to unsafe towing conditions, uneven tire wear, and additional frame damage if not addressed early.
Why RV Suspension Inspections Matter
Suspension components such as equalizers, shackles, bushings, hangers, and axles absorb road impacts and distribute weight throughout the frame. When these parts wear out, crack, or fail, the stress transfers directly into the RV frame—often resulting in cracked I-beams, hanger failures, or alignment issues.
A professional suspension inspection helps RV owners:
Identify worn or cracked components before they fail
Prevent secondary frame and axle damage
Improve towing stability and ride quality
Extend tire and suspension component life
Ensure safer travel for you and your passengers
What We Inspect
Our RV suspension inspection and maintenance service includes a thorough evaluation of:
Frame areas near suspension hangers and I-beams
Equalizers, including MORryde CRE3000 systems
Shackles, bushings, and wet bolts
Axle alignment and movement
Signs of frame flex, cracking, or metal fatigue
Tire wear patterns related to suspension issues
If problems are found, we clearly explain the findings and provide repair or upgrade recommendations to help restore safety and reliability before you hit the road.
Proactive Maintenance Saves You Money
Suspension and frame problems do not repair themselves. Ignoring early warning signs can quickly turn minor wear into major structural repairs. Routine suspension inspections and proper maintenance can significantly reduce the risk of breakdowns, roadside failures, and costly frame damage.
Whether you’re preparing for a long trip or simply want peace of mind, a suspension inspection is a smart investment in your RV’s longevity.
