Oh cool - video by Michael Kidd’s friend David Bott. It is FHU - yet basically an asphalt parking lot from my memory of a single visit.

Well l have everything but 1 bushing, so l guess I'm still on the hunt.
The new bushing he gave me is a bit to big and heavy duty to fit into the Dexter equalizer hole.
I beat the old one up pretty good getting it out of the equalizer, otherwise i could just roll it 180° and reinstall it.

Just wondering. With all the great, above and beyond, mods you’ve done on your Landmark. Why have you not upgraded your suspension?

The parking lot feature is not much different than a few campgrounds we have stayed at.

Maybe the suspension needs bump stops? I just thought of that while you guys are talking, but climbing a curb at 1mph cannot be as hard as a Oklahoma pothole at 65mph, maybe I am underesrimating the size of your curbs LoL.

Might be to late, but I hope you use never-seize on those bronze bushings. I coated inside the spring and out side of the bushings. Then used a large C-clamp to walk them into place. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&k...d=kwd-355623120385&ref=pd_sl_60dobmnilp_b_p38

I never did post this.
We had all of the carpet replaced in our LM 365 last month. WE LOVE IT !!!! Wish we would have done this a long time ago. It is so much softer and better looking. Feels good on the bare feet too. We did the closet, bedroom, living room, and the stairs. We had them do a wood trim on the stairs to give it a better look. I'll post some pictures in a few.
This is the shop that did the work.

Another spring bites the dust. Found this while we were packing up to leave last night. Decided to just leave it there for the night and went back today to fix it..
Thanks Rod D. and Ken B. for the help today swapping it out before we had to be out of our spot.
I think we did it in about 35 to 40 minutes...
Can get to Moreryde soon enough to have the IS installed. It set for May 21st and 22nd right before the Goshin rally. Hopefully they make it that long. I will now carry a spare for the time being.

Your making me nervous Jerrod.
Identical units and we are leaving from Manitoba to Pahrump NV in two weeks to meet up with you.
Just another check list added item every stop now.
Is there any identifiable warning signs. Or just inspections?

Having had issues different from yours but at the same location, I'm beginning to wonder if aftermarket suspensions we hope to smooth the ride are actually exacerbating a weakness in the spring hangers, springs, and shackles.
After installing the MorRyde SRE4000, we've destroyed two sets of shocks and broken two spring eye wet bolts. MorRyde suggested we go without shocks... so far so good, but I check everything every time we stop.

You will like the IS suspension, we had it installed on our unit, I think it makes a big difference. The only down side is pulling away from Mor/ryde and look back to see your 8000 lb axles that you paid big bucks for laying on the shop floor.Another spring bites the dust.

I don’t doubt that you were told to not run shocks and may have had no problems since eliminating them but that is very confusing. Shocks only purpose are to control the oscillating of the springs. Shocks and shock mounts are and/or never intended to be weight carrying devices. So I my mind, limiting the oscillation “should” actually help the springs. My thought would be maybe the overall stroke of the shock is too short and creating the issue.

they told us that we can have the old axles and springs they where just going to trash them.

Dave we missed you guys at the big CA. rally. Wish you could have made it out.
Ya that's going to kill me to but I'm going to strip everything off of them. Spings, equalizers, wet bolts, and my Joy Rider shock kit and brackets. They are using my disk brakes so all that's left is the bear axles.
Hope to see you guys in Goshin

While you and the others worry me with all of your suspension issues, we’re grateful for all of the info and photos so we know what to inspect for every 15 minutes! No one that I know is more “in tune” with their rig than you, so for you to have these repeated problems is very telling.
