It's well documented that most of the units with the kitchen (and often the entertainment center) in a superslide on the street side are much heavier on that side than on the curb side. Search the forum(s) for "springs," etc., and you will find quite a few postings on this issue. Adding to the problem is the fact that, usually, the furnace, water heater, and other appliances and utilities are on that side, as well. On other models, members of this forum have upgraded the springs (with a higher-rated spring on the street side) and installed the MORryde heavy-duty shackle and wet bolt kits. In our case (our Reflection also being 700 lbs. heavier on the street side), we opted to have the MORryde independent suspension and disc brakes installed (by MORryde in Elkhart). We've been so happy with the system that our new, on-order Solitude 310 just had the MORryde IS and brakes installed last week prior to delivery to us in Georgia in a few weeks.

ok, thanks. That's who I thought it might be. I spoke with them this morning, they quoted a little over $10k for the two axle, 8000lb upgrade. That's a little more than I expected.

That's way high. There is something wrong with that. I would check with them again. Talk to Brice.

Yea, Brice is who I spoke with. I double checked, he confirmed, $10,900. Ouch. But I appreciate your info and follow up.

That's messed up. I would call MorRyde in Elkhart and ask them how much total installed. Then add shipping($700) and also take off sales tax. Henderson's labor is $130 an hour so they're a bit higher there. And of course you're getting disc breaks, correct? Then. If they're a lot lower I would go back to Henderson's and tell them how high they are. When I watched "Getaway Couple's" video the price in Elkhart was under $7000. Good luck. I think they will work with you, they need the biz.

I called Brian @ Morryde and he quoted me $7300 installed. He didn't even hesitate, threw out the number like they do it all day, every day. I'm guessing Hendersons just priced it out of the ballpark so I'd move on. Who knows. lol, Getaway Couple and KYD are where I picked up the idea. I just emailed Morryde and asked them for another dealer/installer on the west coast. Hopefully they have other options.
