SuperSprings introduces overload stabilizing
spring for Class C RV Ford E450.
With the great rear overhang Class C motorhomes have, they need
a little help. The SSA21 sets on top of the factory spring and
self adjusts to improve handling and stabilize the load.

Electronic Device
Helps Prevent Dangerous Blowouts. Lexington, Ky.
(Sept. 8, 2006) Flat tires are the leading cause of
disablements involving horse trailers. USRider is involved
in a research project with Dr. Tomas Gimenez to test the
benefit (if any) of using air vs. nitrogen to inflate tow
vehicle and horse trailer tires. An electronic air-pressure
monitoring system is being used to assist with the research.
During the research, Dr. Gimenez and USRider have noted
significant safety benefits resulting from using this
system.

hauler that's made like a tank, so you can get to the prime
remote locations for 4-wheeling or 2-wheeling or just a HQ for
outdoor adventure.

Urges Horse Owners to Use Air Pressure Monitor
 PML Ford F250 Differential Covers Install,
 If you've read your trucks owner manual, there is a different
schedule for normal use and "severe or trailer towing". For some
maintenance schedules you change oil twice as often for severe use. Towing
stress creates heat, heat breaks down the oil faster and you know what
happens next. A lot of us overload our trailers especially using
3/4 and one ton pickups.

 Low
voltage
is a common ailment that will make load levels higher for all of your
vehicle's accessories. Any electric motor will run hotter because of low
voltage, low voltage produces less horsepower while making the motor pull
the same load, causing overheating & premature failure.

Pot holes, gravel ruts and washboards
