Original source: RVBusiness - Breaking RV Industry News - Delivering RV Industry News

Manufacturers of RV hitches and suspension systems report increased interest from both consumers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for products that improve towing safety and ride quality. Key trends for 2026 include a focus on weight distribution systems, the adoption of gooseneck-style pin boxes to free up truck bed space, and the expansion of factory-authorized service networks for professional installation. Companies like Blue Ox, MORryde, and Lippert are introducing updated products, such as the SwayPro hitch and GooseTech system, which aim to reduce road shock and stress on trailers by up to 30%.
