Installing RoadMaster Slipper Springs & Shocks

Welcome back, RV enthusiasts! Join Mike in the second part of our RoadMaster Suspension series, where we dive into the comprehensive installation process of the Comfort Ride Slipper Springs and Shock Absorbers. We dedicated two full days to upgrading our camper's suspension, and the results are nothing short of amazing! 🔧 RoadMaster Suspension Installation
📅 Two-Day Transformation:
On the first day, we tackled the slipper spring installation on one side of the camper, giving you an in-depth look at the components and the steps involved. Day two was just as exciting, as we mirrored the process on the other side and added the finishing touch - the installation of the RoadMaster Shock Absorbers for a complete suspension upgrade.
🔧 Step-by-Step Installation Guide:
Mike takes you through each step, sharing valuable tips and insights gained from our hands-on experience. Whether you're a seasoned RV DIY-er or just getting started, this video provides the guidance you need to enhance your RV's ride.

Awesome work for someone who isn’t a “Mechanic” can’t wait for the test.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

It wasn’t that hard of an install. Thanks for watching.

[@adventure.anywhere]

Great video! Good job showing the whole process and providing tips along the way. That setup looks like a big improvement over the normal springs and equalizers most RVs come with from the factory. I bet it would make a huge difference on bumper pull trailers too.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Perfect for any travel trailer or fifth wheel! Thanks for watching!

[@journeywithmikepenny8861]

Nice install I will be anxious to see how they feel going down the road

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

That video is next week

[@AdventureBandits1]

Nice work on the install.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Thank you! Good morning!😉

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Looks pretty straight forward. I’m waiting to see how the road test goes. You know I’m always looking g for that next upgrade.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

You are going to want this on your next rig!

[@janicea572]

👋🏾 there 😊..I came back for Part 2..Mr. Mike had some great handy dandy time 🕰️ saving techniques and organizational skills...Mrs. Joni will have to tell me the story behind the "Man Sparkles ✨ " comment one day 😂😂🤣🤣...Mr. Mike..You and your Assistant handle that installation "Like A Pro"..Man ✨✨ and all 😂😂 👏🏾👏🏾 ..See ya for the final video of the installation ❤😂

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Thank you soooooooooooo much❤️. The “Man Sparkles” were from the metal shavings when drilling holes in the frame. Joni is the best assistant on the 🌍. Looking forward to next week.

[@janicea572]

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether Well Now.. That's a unique and loving saying..I like that saying.. Even if it involves drill bit shavings 😂😂🤣🤣

[@dtrides]

Hi Mike, thanks for sharing your install video. I would have just ground down those center spacers to fit and used them. Just a thought. Regards, DT

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@dtrides Thanks for your thoughts! Trust me, I had many second thoughts about not using them and that is why I called their support.

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Looking forward to seeing more about how you guys feel when towing, what a great upgrade! Nice job!

[@keepaeyeonit2709]

Nice work Mike👍, Those components look nice and beefy so it should be trouble free.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

We thought they looked “Barry Approved” 😉 Now we need some long trips!!

[@bobfrank1376]

From your video, it looks as if the plate that goes on top of the shock absorber plate was not installed. You might want to watch the trailer install video and reference what I’m talking about. Love your three-part series. Can’t wait to install the slipper springs on mine this November.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@bobfrank1376 thanks for the comment! You’ll love the way your camper tows with this system!

[@glamfamcampers]

Fixing stuff gives me anxiety, you did a great job

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Yeah, gotta be done unfortunately! The directions were great and the customer service was fantastic too!

[@lindacox4508]

Great job

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Thank you!!

[@gcflower99]

Great video, Mike and Joni!! New subscriber. I needed to upgrade to 8K axles also, since I have so many pounds of "necessary things" to haul around. Otherwise, this would have been a great upgrade for our rig. But all things considered, I opted to let be lazy and let MorRyde do the 8K axles and the independent suspension at their factory. See you out there glamping!

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Congrats on the upgrade and welcome to Those WHO Glamp Together! Keep me informed as to how you like the IS. Thanks for sharing!

[@HoppingTheTrailswithTheHopkins]

Great job! I am feeling inspired to do something on our rig. (Aaron)

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Glad we can inspire you! 😉

[@EricJensExcellentEggventure]

It's a good thing you're handy Mike! Laying on that cold concrete can really drain the life out of you. I'm curious to see how much this helps your rig!

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

It was an exhausting couple of days but was on a mission to have it done in a weekend. Thanks for watching!

[@danphilippe9286]

Great work! New subscriber here from 🇨🇦. Clarification question about that spacer. If it was too long could you have shortened it by grinding or cutting it? Or maybe it was too thick and could not fit in because of the triangle bracket?

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@danphilippe9286 hello! Thank you for the sub! To answer your question, yes, you could grind it down to fit. RoadMaster said it was not necessary since we had the triangled bracket welding inside the hanger. Hope this helps! Thanks again for the sub! Where are you at in Canada?

[@danphilippe9286]

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether From Ottawa, Ontario. Thanks for the answer. 👍

[@rsimpson258]

Very good install video! Give me confidence to do the install myself. Did you upgrade to 7k or 8k springs with the Roadmaster?

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Thanks it wasn’t hard just tedious. Because I have 6K axles, I automatically was upgraded to 7k springs

[@kelleysoutdooradventures9939]

Are the old springs NG? Are they wore out?

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

No, they were still in good shape.

[@saltytrips]

Did you guys do the 6000 lb or 7000 lb kit?

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@saltytrips we did the 7k kit!

[@saltytrips]

@ your axles 6k or 7k? whats your trailer GVWR? We have “5200 lb” axles but everything I can tell is they are exactly the same as the “6000 lb axles” just using 2600 lb spring. I want to bump up the spring rating so deciding wether 6000 lb kit would only gain 400 lb per spring or just get the stonger 7000 kit

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@ we have 6k axles, our GVWR is 14k. Our axles are 3 inches round and that has a lot to do with the kit you buy. Just be careful to not get too big of a spring, it might be too stiff and damage your frame.

[@saltytrips]

@ yeah, that my one concern about 7000 lb spring, but we are pretty much running max payload, our GVWR is like 12,500. The extra height of 7000 kit would be a bonus. Just weighing my options, no pun intended 🤣

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@saltytrips I just helped a friend install on his rv as well and if I’m not mistaken he had 5200lb axles. He also has a KZbin channel. I don’t remember what size his kit was but you can check out campin with the confers. I’m sure he tells his kit size on his video.

[@ExploringOurCompass]

Currently doing this install but my new springs will not line up with the top of my axle holes. Any tips?

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Are your springs attached to your axles? I attached the springs to the hangers then moved the axle to the pin on the spring. I hope this helps.

[@ExploringOurCompass]

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether they’re not attached yet, they are just attached on the hangars right now. It looks like my axle needs to rotate some, in order to line up the holes.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@ExploringOurCompass I had to raise and lower my axles to get them lined up with the pin on the springs. Also make sure you don’t over tighten your spring and cause it to stick in the hanger not allowing it to move. If it’s easier you can email us and maybe we can exchange numbers and call so I understand what is happening.

[@ExploringOurCompass]

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether ok thanks! I’ll try and see what I can do tomorrow on it!

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@ExploringOurCompass [e-mail]

[@Kevin-midmichigan]

I can't believe they said just disregard the spacer..wow..plus they didn't even give ya a set of wet bolts? For the cost you'd think it would be included.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@Kevin-midmichigan thanks for the reply! The reason for not using the spacer was basically our RV manufacturer added welded “V” braces to our suspension hangers and as far as the wet bolts, the springs have inserts that don’t require grease.

[@journeywithmikepenny8861]

Hey Mike, do you want to sell the old center suspension part you took off your camper?

[@davidbeasley3472]

Great job but kill the music. It is annoying and makes it more difficult to hear you.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

@@davidbeasley3472 we will work on the levels as we continue to improve our editing! Thanks for your comment!

[@nunaya4163]

I will not try this one good job.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

We were a little nervous about doing it ourselves, but easier than you’d think!

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Sweet now you can switch all your glasses, plates and bowls from plastic

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

A point we had not considered!! Thanks for watching!

[@Buszzbait69]

Great video on your install. Just ordered the shock and comfort ride kit for my redwood. Going with the 8k kit for 7k axles. Would you happen to have a link on the new U Bolts you used? Also did you use the original spring plates in addition to the shock kit plates? Thank you.

[@ThoseWhoGlampTogether]

Thank you for the comment. The U Bolts are in our Amazon store in the RV toolbox. You can find the link in the description. Since you got the system with shocks you will not re-use your spring plate. Hope your install goes well.
