torsion suspension and tires
I know many boat trailers have this, as do I vs. the leaf springs. It seens most travel trailers have leaf springs. Last weeks trip to the coast I was following a R-POD travel trailer, they make 17 and 18 ft travel trailers GVWR 3500-4000lbs. We where traveling at 55-60 and I noted that the tires grossly bounce up/down like a balloon hitting the ground. They look like at the low point the slide walls contact the road. I have followed others boat trailers and seen the same type of tire bounce. I have never seen that on a travel trailer leaf spring. Of course I do not know if those trailers are overloaded or tires under inflated. I have seen it enough to think it may be the type of suspension without enough travel. Any expert opinon about my thoughts.
