Just Gets Better!
So far, on my 2006 Monty, I have installed the Morryde kingpin, Morryde wet bolts, electric awning, satellite TV system, and finally 2 flat screen HD televisions. Looks like I am keeping up with most of the stuff in New Montys--that double door refrigerator will be a challenge!

No, I bought the parts and had a very good trailer outfit in San Antonio do it--don't remember the price but it is really a NEEDED upgrade. I posted photos of the worn out plastic bushings.
I do not have the jacks and other needed tools to do that work on the suspension. I had to replace the 2 rear wet bolts this year--would not take grease. Morryde said that was typical--others need to check theirs annually. Camping World did the replacement--I was there for other work--electric awning.

I just did the wet bolt on mine last week. Biggest problem is getting it safely off the ground. I only did one side at a time. As added safety I hooked up to truck. I also borrowed some heavy duty stands from my next door neighbor. A floor jack is almost a must have. Borrow one if you don't have one. I was expecting to be removing plastic bushings from spring eyes but my were brass and because the ends had mushroomed they were a bear to remove. To remove I had to take hack saw apart, insert blade through bushing, reattach blade and saw bushing into. I used a big C clamp to press bushings back in. I also took one of old bolts and cut to about 1" long to insert into bushing for protection to bushing during press in.
Did mine by myself in afternoon and part of next morning.
Main thing be safety minded. With spring shackle off camper can fall a long way. Also do not try to turn bolt. It is knurled and should not be turned. Only turn nut.
