have you ever wondered why RVs do not have air ride suspension like the big
rigs do you're not want to miss this video
hey y'all I'm Lisa and I'm Jimmy we are find us camping for those of you that
have been with us before you probably already saw the video where we went over
our top five picks from the Tampa RV show if you're new with us thanks for
tuning in please go ahead and subscribe be sure to
ring the bell so you don't miss future videos and go back and watch the video
about the top 5 picks from the Tampa RV show well wait while you guys subscribe
and ring the bell
ok we're back so today we want to tell you about something that we did see
while we were at the Tampa show it wasn't available for aftermarket
purchase just yet I do believe they're putting it out on some of the newer RVs
and they are working to make it an aftermarket product but as of yet they
aren't quite there before we ever left to go to Tampa all the way from Arizona
Lisa found this video online about this new air ride suspension so we were
hoping that we might be able to see it when we went to Tampa and we did so when
we got there I knew that it was a new newer company it was activate a Katy v8
intelligence and motion but that they were making this product in conjunction
with more ride so I looked for activate on the map of course I didn't find them
but of course I could find more right so we went to the more ride booth and I
don't remember the gentleman's name that we spoke to at first but he told us that
we needed to speak with Gary wheeler and Gary was talking to someone else but we
patiently waited to speak with so Gary for those of you who don't know works
for more ride has for quite some time he is the one that drives around the more
ride fusion and camps in it and uses it drives it you know everything Jojen yeah
hashtag fusion so gary was nice enough and it was one of the hotter days that
we were there to walk all the way out across the parking lot to where his
fusion was parked so that he could give us a demo
this new air ride system a couple of the things I know Gary touches on a couple
of things it'll do and he wasn't able to show it to us in motion because he's
camping in the fusion right now so his slides around he's level and all that
kind of stuff but he did open it up show us the control panel explain to us how
it's gonna work how the the leveling system works how
you can if you were at your campsite and you wanted to drop the back the tailgate
to load up your toys you can actually drop the back end of the trailer let it
kneel down so that you're not coming in at such an angle sometimes it looks like
this and you drag coming into the back of this back of the gate so that is one
plus another plus is if you have kids that have bicycles you'll be able to air
up the tires if they have a low tire or on a golf cart and Jimmy's favorite I
could put my truck tires up because you cannot find air for 80 pounds or your
trailer tires for 110 pounds of pressure at any local gas station or wherever
they have air so we always have a lot of problems trying to find places to find
air to pump up the tires so if we get this system we will get a pump them up
from the rig itself which is nice so without further ado let's hear what Gary
has to say about the system and how it works on his fusion take it over Gary
you okay when you're in the park position
you just put it on the level did I push that you just hit the level and it'll
level up automatically the nice feature about this is it's going to level down
instead of up like you're six six point systems so it's going to keep you at the
lowest possible point that's nice when you get ready to leave you get
everything packed up you would hit hitch wait until the compressor builds up the
pressure and then you it will also take you to the point of where you were at
when you unhook so those does know tow once I've got it hooked up to the truck
and it'll bring everything up and lock it in place you'll notice on the back
here your stabilizer on it okay stabilizer puts about two to three
hundred foot pounds of pressure on there try moving this back in
Oh
like a rock those of course automatically retract or extend opinion
on which direction you're going
there's the the heart of it the airbags is to compressive on the rear pressure
up front
there's an airbag for each wheel
break oh yes electrical hydraulic disc only way to go I won't pull without him
now so you never see so when it's all said and done you just went up front
sandbags nothing in the movie for his loved one goes as far as the stability
we're using the suspensions and the stabilizer take a level that's all yeah
yeah they're not needed at all that hydraulic pump will come out as well so
how when the front is retracted they don't stick down don't think they look
really yeah probably about four you just read four inches okay so it really sucks
them up there there's three ride heights on this unit when you're pulling it you
got the low medium and high so if you go off off-road off can you put it up on
high you don't have to worry about that and that's one thing I hate about these
fusions that sir drain all right on the road so you get it up high enough that
you're not so we're always referred to hitting the
backs of our jacks when we're going up a hill yeah yeah very close to the ground
of course this is a TAS land
another nice beat is kneeling Welney over back there sitting down so we're
trying to put your toys in the back change that of approach angle oh wow
oh it's huge it's huge it's like a horse if I'm wheels down and get on exactly
exactly I didn't have a slide down I demonstrated Maria but I yeah and I've
to miss let's not do that while the slides are out those out make she'll
just set her right down there thank you Gary and welcome back to you guys and
don't forget hit the subscribe button and ring that bell if you want to see
some more videos coming up soon we'll be doing a lot more since Gary its camping
and had a slides album was unable to actually show us the system in motion
we're gonna link a video here so you can see how the suspension works when you're
pulling the trailer behind your truck or once you've unhooked it and you're using
it as a leveling system they also have a demonstration where you can see how they
make the back of it Neil so that you could load up your toys and I'm pretty
sure they also show you airing up a tire so you can see where they can access
that system we hope you all have found this video useful and we hope you'll
tune back in for the next video until next time safe travels good night y'all
