I defended lots of cases in which people vied for Darwin awards. Crashing a trailer claiming the ad led them to do it would be a law suit that would be lots of fun to defend, not to mention making a lot of money. ...almost enough to tempt me to come out of retirement.

I was just making a joke about the gear getting thrown all over the trailer. Hopefully most actual RV owners know better that to do that.
I think the suspension itself could be fine, if it actually worked. But like 90 plus percent of Americans say when surveyed, I never believe anything I see in ads unless I can independently confirm it. But then there's that gullible few percent who believe everything they see and expect to be able to do that too. Thats why you usually see those "professional driver on closed course, don't try this a home" type disclaimers. Which this ad didn't have. And those idiots are the same ones who will tear up the parks like LA is worried about. And the ones who will sue when they do something incredibly stupid that the advertiser never imagined they needed to warn them not to do. Like, Mickey D's having to warn ppl that hot coffee is, um, hot.... |

guess im confused by recent above comments regarding the axle/suspension? whats wrong with it if thats what someone wants? many are looking for something as such to access areas not allowed by an rpod. and more realistically, i really dont think one would drive quite like that on roads/trails like that anyway. i take it as a commercial with a little bit of exageration. i think that dude may have eaten one to many gummies. just my thoughts. jon

+1 to OG. Not only will their stuff be all over the trailer floor, but encouraging that kind of driving in delicate ecosystems will cause irreparable damage to the fragile forest and desert lands. The ruts, holes, and erosion on the dirt roads will only get worse and the places we wish to visit for peace and quiet and connecting with nature will be badly damaged. And who will end up paying for the remediation? We will, either in higher camping fees or areas closed off due to damage.

OTOH, it would be tough enough to take that trip to Alaska with the rough roads I have read about. I'd be leery of that front window on the NoBo though.

Similar in concept to the axle and suspension on Black Series trailers. Now you have swing arm bearings, shocks, probably some preload settings. No thanks.

Based on that ad, I'd say more problems for sure. I just imagine all the owners trying to drive like that themselves and finding all the gear in their cabinets on the floor when they get to their campsites.
