This allows the battery-powered lights to be easily removed from the step and serve as a flashlight. The lights attach to the bottom of the step tread and are secured with a magnet to the bracket. As soon as Gary gets within 5-6’ of the steps, they light up, allowing him to safely enter the trailer when it is dusk or dark. One of the newest accessories for the StepAbove product is motion-activated step lights. Additionally, the Strut Assist makes it even easier because the steps feel almost “weightless.” You can lift and lower the steps with a finger as the strut helps offset the weight. The StepAbove extends to the ground, providing for a safe, secure, and stable entry and exit to and from the trailer. Gary can’t wait to get the new Motorized Easy Reel that will allow him to spool the cord with the push of a button.Īs you walk down the trailer and get to the entry door and the steps, you’ll find that Gary has upgraded his conventional entry steps to the MORryde Strut Assist StepAbove. ![]() He can also clean his cord with a cloth while the cord is being spooled. Located in a small compartment, Gary can now quickly spool up the cord without taking up a bunch of space. Therefore, Gary uses a MORryde Easy Reel Spooler that makes storing his cord simple. The tray helps with his organization, and every item is accessible.ĥ0-amp power cords are heavy, awkward, and a bear to store. Rather than taking everything out of the bay to get to those items, Gary uses a MORryde Sliding Cargo Tray that easily extends out 60%. The challenge is that with one pass-through, he needs to maximize the space, which means there are several things he needs that fit right in the middle of the bay. Gary’s trailer has one large pass-through storage bay up front. As a result, Gary now experiences smoother, more comfortable towing, and the jerking, chucking, bucking and clunking common to 5th wheel towing is diminished. Gary’s trailer now has the MORryde Rubber Pin Box system, which is “flexible.” It uses a rubber shear spring to cushion and absorb that transfer of energy from the trailer to the truck. This happens with starts, stops, and on roads where the expansion joints help create a push/pull, or jerking effect. This connection is “rigid,” which doesn’t allow the pin box to absorb any of the energy that is transferred from the trailer to the truck. The steel pin from the pin box connects to the steel 5th wheel hitch in the bed of the truck. ![]() The trailer came equipped with the standard or stock pin box that serves as the connection between the truck and trailer. ![]() The toy hauler is wrapped in MORryde blue decals and makes a nice presence at campgrounds, letting people know that MORryde is there and wanting to share the RV lifestyle with them. Let’s look at the RV upgrades added to Gary’s trailer – We’ll start from the tip and end at the tail. We chose a toy hauler as it helps us haul product, displays, literature, and materials to each event. Gary estimates he’s towed the MORryde trailer over 250,000 miles to shows, rallies, and events. Gary’s trailer is a 39’ toy hauler. A secondary benefit would be having someone live the RV lifestyle and help with product development.Įnter Gary Wheeler, one of the MORryde Aftermarket Sales team members and avid RVer. Years ago, as MORryde started attending retail shows and RV owner’s club rallies, we decided it would be good to own a 5th wheel and use it to support the events.
