A couple of weeks ago installed the Isolator king pin box. Finally got to go for a drive with it. What a drive! We left Sept 04 and entered Canada at Sumas. Up the Frazier river canyon. Over nighted at Lac La Hache. Next day on to Nimpo Lake BC. Can,t say much for the road conditions. They were great to poor. A lot of sharp bumps due to frost heaves. We sure got bounched around alot. Gave that air bag and shock absorber a work out. What I learned was that as long as the bumps allowed the moving parts to stay in their range of motion it really improved the ride. Once out of that range it did not help the ride. But, I am sure that it helps reduce wear or long term damage to both the coach and TV. Only had one drawer come open.

BTW, the Monty makes a great fish hauler. Out in such a remote area it was the hit of the campground. Would I do it again - YES!!!!
