The Upgrade of all Upgrades

Fully committed and on the road for a factory installed upgrade, I am already putting together evaluation criteria so that I can properly evaluate this major upgrade of my motorhome over the next few years. Only then will I be able to accurately recommend this upgrade ( or NOT depending on your individual circumstances).

The upgrade is a suspension complete change out to a high tech , computer controlled electronic /hydraulic system using a compressable gel type material for the hydraulic fluid. In the world of suspension systems this one is as high tech and innovative as the Ford F series chassis is old fashion and low tech. So operating at the extreme opposite ends of the suspension spectrum truly maximizes the benefits but at a high investment.

My cost/ benefit analysis ( pre-install ) pushed me to the conclusion that eight years of full time use resulted in substantial damage requiring repairs due to rough roads which are only getting rougher on average. So the base benefit of my decision to make this investment was to extend the life of my motorhome while greatly reducing repairs and patch-ups along the way.

Obviously the post install evaluation criteria will measure my history of vibration/ rough road damage/repairs compared to after install results along with a long list of improvements in ride, handling, safety, driver (me) fatigue, navigator (my wife) fatigue, and even some driving convenience features.

Liquidspring is the company in Lafeyette, Indiana that has developed this technology initially for the mining industry and then adapted it on -road vehicles like ambulances, busses, and RVs. I am very impressed by the technology development and the in-house manufacture of most components and install development as well.

I have committed to an investment , which amounts to 13.3% of my initial investment in the motorhome, so the test begins - will it be worth it ?
