As any seasoned RV owner knows, the factory suspension on most motorhomes leaves much to be desired. From the white-knuckle experience of crosswinds to the constant steering corrections and bone-jarring ride over minor road imperfections, standard suspension systems can turn what should be an enjoyable journey into a test of endurance.
That’s where LiquidSpring comes in. As the premium choice for RV suspension upgrades, LiquidSpring is transforming the motorhome experience with technology that delivers unparalleled ride comfort, superior handling, and enhanced vehicle longevity.
Why RV Suspension Upgrades Matter
According to a 2023 RV Industry Association survey, 9 out of 10 RVers felt the need for improvements after their RV purchase. Among the top pain points? Ease of driving and vehicle leveling. This shouldn’t come as a surprise when you consider that most factory suspensions are basic systems designed for cost efficiency rather than comfort or performance.
The North America Recreational Vehicle Market is booming, expected to grow from $18.36 billion in 2023 to $26.96 billion by 2028. With this growth comes evolving customer expectations, particularly from demographics like Baby Boomers (who prioritize value for their discretionary income) and Millennials (who now make up 65% of the RV-owning population).
For today’s RV owners, a suspension upgrade isn’t a luxury—it’s an essential investment in comfort, safety, and vehicle longevity.
The LiquidSpring Difference: Not Just Another Suspension System
When comparing RV suspension upgrades, LiquidSpring stands apart from traditional options. Unlike conventional suspensions that use fixed components, LiquidSpring’s Smart Suspension system is adaptive and dynamic.
How It Works
At the heart of the LiquidSpring system is sophisticated technology that continuously responds to your driving conditions:
- Onboard Microprocessor: Constantly monitors speed, steering, braking, and road inputs 1,000 times per second
- Liquid-Based Strut and Secondary Volume: Changes the softness/stiffness of the spring dependent upon volume
- Five-Link Suspension: Maintains alignment, minimizes noise, and reduces vibration
- Driver Interface: Allows you to modify settings and adjust ride height with the touch of a button
The result is a suspension system that dynamically optimizes for both comfort and handling, giving you the best of both worlds without compromise.
Key Benefits of Upgrading to LiquidSpring
1. Enhanced Ride Comfort and Stability
“Everything I’ve read or heard doesn’t do it justice. The change is way more profound,” says Tim Lynch, an RV owner from West Deptford, NJ. “The obvious expansion joint noise and swaying fix are great. The biggest change I’ve noticed is handling. There are times when I feel the drive is almost like my F150.”
LiquidSpring’s smart suspension system instantaneously adjusts to road conditions, absorbing bumps and vibrations while maintaining optimal stability. This means less jostling inside the coach and a more comfortable experience for everyone onboard.
2. Improved Handling and Safety
LiquidSpring changes how your motorhome handles, giving you confident control in situations that previously caused stress and fatigue.
“The fear of big rigs passing is gone. The white-knuckle cattle shoot gauntlet is gone. I am confident enough to maintain cruising speed into curves without braking or feeling like we would tip over,” continues Tim Lynch.
3. Reduced Driver Fatigue
Long travel days can be exhausting with a standard suspension system. The constant small corrections, vibrations, and tension take their toll. LiquidSpring’s adaptive system reduces these stressors, allowing drivers to arrive at their destination fresher and more relaxed.
Ron Denton, a Class A motorhome owner, shares: “Traveling is now fun again! Being buffeted by 25 mph crosswinds in Kansas is no longer a white knuckle experience.”
4. Extended Vehicle Lifespan
By minimizing vibrations and road shock, LiquidSpring helps protect your RV’s components from premature wear and tear. This means fewer repairs, reduced maintenance costs, and a longer lifespan for your valuable investment.

RV Suspension Upgrades: Cost vs. Value Perspective
Many owners naturally weigh the initial investment against the long-term benefits when considering an RV suspension upgrade. While a LiquidSpring system represents an upfront investment, it’s essential to consider the value proposition in context.
Compared to Upgrading Your RV
Many RV owners contemplating improved ride quality initially consider trading up to a higher-end coach. However, the cost differential is substantial:
- Upgrading from a gas Class A to a comparable diesel pusher typically requires an investment of $100,000-$300,000
- This doesn’t account for increased maintenance costs associated with diesel engines
- The LiquidSpring upgrade provides premium-level ride quality at a fraction of the upgrade cost
Increased Resale Value
While individual results vary, a LiquidSpring suspension upgrade can positively impact your RV’s resale value:
- It addresses one of the most common complaints about RVs (ride quality)
- It demonstrates proactive maintenance and investment in the vehicle
- It offers the next owner significant value, particularly for those who understand the benefits
Extended Vehicle Longevity
One of the most significant long-term values comes from reduced wear and tear:
- Less vibration means fewer loose components and fixtures
- Reduced stress on the chassis extends structural integrity
- More stable driving means less strain on steering components and tires
The smart suspension system’s ability to constantly adjust to driving conditions means components experience optimized force distribution rather than repeatedly absorbing excess impact—a factor that can significantly extend your RV’s usable lifespan and reduce maintenance costs over time.
