Video Transcript for Review of Roadmaster Replacement Comfort Ride Shock - RM-204000-00

Michael: Hi, there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the replacement shock absorber. This is going to replace the shock absorber for your Roadmaster comfort ride trailer suspension. Obviously, it's going to do the same thing as the original, so it is a nice heavy duty gassed shock that's going to absorb the road vibrations and provide more comfortable towing experience. It is nitrogen charged, so it is going to eliminate the trailer bouncing and chucking, porpoising that you sometimes get with your trailers.

If you have the Roadmaster comfort ride system, this is going to be an exact replacement from Roadmaster, so you can trust it's going to integrate into your system completely. You're not going to have to worry about compatibility issues or anything like that. It is going to be an exact replacement, get you up and running again so that your ride with your trailer is far more comfortable. That's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com.

Thanks for watching.

Fast shipping and the shocks are very m ade.

Because of Covid, I have not been able to use my RV since.

Install wasn’t bad. Grand design welds a V bracket inside the spring hangers for more strength so that was my only challenge on install. This caused a problem on the center hanger as the spacer wouldn’t fit. Had to grind about a quarter inch off the spacer so it would fit as I could only bend the bottom of the hangers so much. Will be towing about 100 miles this weekend so it will be nice to hopefully not have broken drawers in the back of the trailer as well as shelves in the fridge door dislodged. I also did the X factor cross braces on the front and rear hangers for more strength. Will post back after we get more miles on it, but given all the other positive reviews I don’t think I’ll be unhappy.



by:

Installed a year ago, I made a drilling template to help locate the frame mounting bracket screw holes. Installed a set on (2) fivers, spent average of 2.5 hours for total installation per fiver. Helped the ride of the trailer. Would certainly recommend the shock kit.

1. The impression from "people"
was usually "why shocks on a camper", which I would answer "why shocks on your car".
2. The ride was much better; as you may imagine driving your car without shocks. And the sway was minimized & the braking effectiveness increase.
3. We've sold that RV and on our new one already planning the install; and including the wet bolts and mod on the leaf-spring hangers.



by:

All travel trailers should be equipped with shock absorbers. Roadmaster nailed it with the brackets which fit perfectly. Be sure to order the longer u bolts.



by:

We installed these on our 2022 Riverstone Legacy 39RKFB and without a doubt they have saved us on broken rims (many have this issue) and the ride was an instant upgrade. We drove a 6500-mile trip over the summer to ZION and Rockies and no issues at all. I installed them myself and recommend them as an inexpensive solution to expensive independent suspension.



by:

This is a great kit! Everything needed is included. Be sure to purchase the heavy duty wet bolt kit for the shackles.



by:

OMG! After having the trailer bottom out on the stock springs while traversing a RR crossing, this system has proven to be amazing. Returning from a VA campground I crossed multiple RR crossings and traveled some rough pavement. I found I had left a bottle of shower soap on the ledge in the shower! It was still there when I set up in my yard. Not possible with the stock suspension!



by:

Along with the new springs....everything works as advertised. Well satisfied. No complaints.
I had to modify the one set of shock brackets to fit, as I have raised the trailer 5 inches
to match up with the 4 inch raised truck.
Otherwise...no swaying....no bouncing........no problems.
Thanks etrailer for your help.



by:

The suspension system is amazing! It feels like the 5th wheel is riding on coil springs. The shock absorbers make such a noticeable difference; why these aren't installed at the factory will forever puzzle me.
Installation was straight forward. The length and quality of current U-bolts allowed for reuse.
I was skeptical about the fasteners, until the first one was torqued to specs...it was soon apparent that the provided hardware was more than adequate for the job.
I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this system again, and I promote it as often as possible.
Thank you, and all the etrailer staff!



by:

After much research and evaluation I found the Road Master to be my first choice for our 2023 Grand Design Reflection Tandom Axle RV. The engineering, manufacturing and quality is demonstrated in this product. The components are heavy duty with clear instructions. I’ve not had the opportunity to install yet however before we embark on a 2 month tour, I’m confident in this added suspension package to assure a safe, comfortable ride.



by:

Best upgrade you can do on your toy hauler! It’s a little stiff at first unloaded but man what a difference when fully loaded! Smithed out the ride tremendously even on the washboard highway! A huge piece of mind when comparing it to the stock set up. Definitely recommend it!



by:

This kit made a huge difference in the ride of our fifth wheel and we would recommend the product.



by:

So far so good on my 2015 Open Range 3X427BHS!

Overall, the old suspension system was just rusted and worn out and the tires were a maximum of 1" apart, which made me really nervous while pulling. It was tough to remove, but nothing a little WD-40 and some praying couldn't fix!

Installation was pretty straight forward using the included directions and [online video] University. Looking forward to seeing how it rides this weekend on our next trip.



by:

I was looking for shock absorbers when I discovered this kit. I installed it in about a day and a half. The instructions are pretty good if you read them and follow them. We took the trailer about 100 miles last weekend. It seemed to ride smoother with this kit. Overall, I'm happy with it.



by:

I spent considerable time researching how to improve the towing experience of my 5th wheel camper without breaking the bank. This is an excellent product and it performed exactly as I had hoped. It improved my trailer's handling over the very rough roads we travel in just about every state in our country. If you are looking to improve your towing experience, then this is a reasonably priced product.



by:

It works well, it was easy to install but the screws that go to the frame loosen with the vibration of the road even using Loctide 271 red, I had to stop on the road to tighten them every 2 hours. As soon as I returned home, I welded them and the problem was solved. The next problem was that the assembly was very close to the ground. I had to raise it about 2 inches more for safety. In conclusion, I give it 4 stars because the comfort is excellent and the price is a little high. taking into account all the extra work it took me until I got a proper balance.



by:

This is a great product, it smothered out my fifth wheel nearly eliminating the chucking.



by:

Great kit, really beefy high quality components, nice powder coating. Because my axles are above the leaf springs which I believe is relatively rare, the kit needed some modification, not too bad if you're handy and have additional tools. This kit is a no brainer for axles underneath leaf springs, pretty much bolt on from seeing the eTrailer videos, dramatically improved ride quality on my 20 mile test drive, looking forward to our next trip.



by:

The cabinet doors aren't flying open and everything rides much smoother!



by:

My brother in law installed the slipper spring kit to replace a broken spring and equiflex on the left side of my 2018 solitude 384GK. We found it very easy to install and the written instructions and a couple of videos helped. We travelled from Phillipi WV to Arley Ala. after. I saw a very big difference in the handling and stability of the RV. Was very pleased with the results. I have not installed the shocks yet will do that when I get to Fla.
I purchased the kit from E trailer the service was excellent received everything 2 days earlier than expected, no damage or missing parts. I dealt with Ashley at E trailer she was extremally helpful and knowledgeable.



by:

Just finished installing the Roadmaster shock system on my Momentum 398M tri-axle. The kit arrived well packaged and all items were included. The instructions that come with it are pretty straight forward and easy to understand. This would probably be a lot quicker install with some helping hands, but I did it by myself in about 6 hours. The hardest part of the entire setup is all of the overhead drilling, but with a little redneck ingenuity I was able to make that bearable. As far as this kit goes, the ordering process and the outstanding customer service from Angela W, etrailer.com rocks!! This could be the start of a wonderful relationship..

  • Will Replacement Shock Absorber for Roadmaster Comfort Ride Work with Joy Rider Shock Kit
    In regards to the Replacement Shock Absorber for Roadmaster Comfort Ride Trailer Suspension System part # RM-204000-00, the compressed length is 11-1/2" long eye to eye and the uncompressed length is 17-1/2" long eye to eye. The eyelet holes are 12mm diameter. I can't confirm this will work in place of a Joy Rider shock as we don't carry this brand but so long as your existing shocks are the same it will work great

  • Bolts for Installation and Shock Length for Roadmaster Replacement Shock Absorber
    The Replacement Shock Absorber # RM-204000-00 is installed using M12 x 1.75 x 100mm — class 8.8 bolts and it measures 11-1/2" when compressed and 17-1/2" when extended. This shock is designed specifically for the Roadmaster Comfort Ride system like the kit # RM-2450 which is for a tandem 3,500 lb axle trailer. Since you have a single axle trailer I recommend going with the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks # LC281255 instead.

  • Replacement Shocks For Roadmaster Comfort Ride System on Thor WanderWagon M367
    It sounds like you might have a Roadmaster Comfort Ride system like the # RM-2460 that is designed for 5200-lbs to 7000-lbs axles.

  • Replacement Shocks for 2014 Prime Time Sanibel 3600 5th Wheel Trailer
    From what I have found, it looks like you have tandem 7,000 lb axles on your 2014 Prime Time Sanibel 3600. Assuming that is the case, we have two different replacement shocks available for two different systems. If you have the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks # LC281281, then the correct replacement shock is the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280. If you have the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers # RM-2460, then the correct...
