RV Downsizing – Why And How You Should Do It

This article is about RV downsizing. And about why and how to do it.

Of course, when you start out RVing there’s a lot of things you just don’t know.

And one of those things for many people is how little space they can live in comfortably.

Watch my video on RV downsizing

Why Many People Buy Big RVs

Also, many come from houses that have 1000 – 3000 or more square feet of living area.

And it can be really daunting to think about living in only 300 square feet or maybe even less.

And that’s the kind of living space that you often find in RVs. So lots of folks just choose a bigger rig to start with.

That’s in order to make the transition a little bit easier for them from a stationary home to an RV.

And quite frankly, that’s really not a bad idea in many cases as they are just starting their RV life.

But there can be lots of reasons why RVers eventually choose to downsize their rig after a while. And we’ll talk about that now.

But before we get started, let me mention something else at this point.

And that is that this is also a very good discussion for you newer RVers too. Even those that don’t have an RV yet.

That’s because some of the points we’re going to cover could actually be things you need to think about before making your first RV purchase.

And knowing this information can help you buy the right size RV the first time.

RV Downsizing Reason #1

OK, let’s get started. And the first possible reason for downsizing is it could that your rig is hard for you to maneuver and drive around.

Now take it from me, because I have a 40 foot diesel pusher motorhome. And we flat tow a Honda CRV behind it.

Here's our big rig - a diesel pusher towing a CRV
Here’s our big rig – a diesel pusher towing a CRV

So when it’s all hooked up, it’s a big rig! In fact, it rivals even many commercial truck and trailer combinations in length.

Also, when I’m all hooked up I don’t have a reverse gear at that point. At least that’s the way I look at it anyway.

Because you really can’t back up when you have a flat towed vehicle connected.

So that means that I can only move in one direction when I’m driving my motorhome.

And that’s something you should think about before buying an RV.

Because when you have a big heavy rig and you’re towing a vehicle, maneuverability is cut down drastically.

For me, I have just decided to use bigger roads and interstate highways when I travel.

Because secondary roads could be a real challenge and it’s not hard to get into tough situations there. So all of that could be a reason for downsizing.

#2 – Downsizing For RV Parks And Campgrounds

OK, the second reason for downsizing is that many campgrounds these days are still not big rig friendly.

They were built decades ago for RVs that were generally a much smaller size back then.

RV downsizing - Campgrounds are often a challenge for bigger RVs
Campgrounds are often a challenge for bigger RVs

So the campground roads are more narrow. And in many cases, the corners can be narrow and make turning challenging too.

Also, in many of these older RV parks the sites themselves are tight. Making them more difficult to get into and out of with a bigger rig.

So all of this could be a very good reason for downsizing into a smaller and more nimble RV.

RV Downsizing Reason #3

OK, our third reason for downsizing has to do boondocking. Or off-grid camping. And lots of folks love to do that.

In fact, that’s what many people want to do with their RV. They aren’t interested in staying in RV parks or campgrounds.

RV downsizing helps when you like to boondock a lot

Instead, they want to go to remote places. Where you’re going to see things that you just can’t see any other way.

Well if you have a bigger rig, I’m going to tell you that’s going to be more of a challenge.

It’s just a fact that off-road camping is a lot easier in smaller RVs in general.

Now it doesn’t mean you can’t do it in bigger rigs. But it’s more of a challenge for sure!

#4 – What About Maintenance And Repair?

Now our next reason for downsizing is that big rigs often require more maintenance and repair overall.

That’s because if manufacturers have a bigger RV to work with, they often stuff a whole lot more amenities and other things in it.

Things that can require more maintenance and more expense to keep up and repair.

Now I made a video a little while ago about the annual cost of maintaining our particular rig.

And quite frankly, I was very surprised when I found out how much it was costing us.

So I think it would be helpful for you to watch that video. Because it might help you decide whether downsizing is a good idea for you or not.

Watch my video on what our large motorhome cost to repair and maintain
Watch my video on what our large motorhome cost to repair and maintain

Especially if you want to avoid some of those extra costs of RV maintenance and repairs.

RV Downsizing Reason #5

OK, our next reason for downsizing is that big rigs require a lot more focus to drive.

And I can testify to that. Because when I’m driving I’m always watching everything.

And by that, I mean I’m scanning the gauges in front of me constantly.

That helps me make sure that all of the mechanical things on the RV are operating correctly.

Then I’m also looking at the car we tow along with us in the rear camera too. Just to make sure it’s okay and tracking along behind us well.

And I’m also checking my tire pressure monitoring system from time to time.

Then I’m also looking at the coach’s mirrors to see what’s coming up behind me.

And besides all of that, I’m looking at the road ahead, the road conditions and even the weather.

So all of these things require focus on the part of the RV’s driver. And more focus than usual because it’s a bigger rig.

Because if something goes wrong, you need to be prepared for it if you can.

Now all of that focus and attention can honestly wear you out. And it doesn’t take very long to do that.

So if you want to enjoy the journey more as you travel, maybe a smaller RV might be good for you.

The Cost Of Large RV Rigs – #6

Now our next reason for downsizing is that larger rigs often just cost more to buy up front.

And that means that if you downsize to a smaller rig, you can probably save money. That’s because the RV itself is not costing you as much.

What About Fuel Mileage? – #7

Also, another reason for downsizing is that smaller RVs tend to get better fuel mileage.

So that means you can travel more and farther for less money. And that’s a great thing!

RV Downsizing Reason #8

Now another reason for downsizing is that when you get your fuel, you actually can have access to a lot more fuel stations with a smaller rig.

For us, with the big rig we have, we only feel comfortable going to fuel stations where commercial trucks get their fuel.

That’s because with a bigger rig going into a normal fuel station you have to be very careful.

Because you might get in at that fuel station. But you may not get out very easily. And we learned that lesson the hard way!

So having a smaller rig is a lot easier to fuel up and maneuver in more fuel stations.

#9 – What About RV Storage Choices?

The next reason for downsizing is that you may not have to store your RV at a storage facility while you’re not using it.

So for those that aren’t RVing full-time, what do you do with your RV when you’re not using it?

Well if it’s a bigger RV, you’re probably going to need to store it at a storage facility.

But if it’s smaller, it very often can fit right there at home with you. And that’s a big savings on storage costs.

#10 – Lifestyle Changes

OK, our next reason for downsizing is maybe you’ve been RVing for a while.

And now you’ve discovered that your space and living area needs have changed.

So you now feel that you can live in a smaller area. And if that’s the case, then downsizing could be a good idea for you.

RV Downsizing Reason #11

Also, another reason for downsizing is that we all reach a point in life where it becomes physically challenging to have a larger rig.

That’s because there’s just so much more physical work that goes with a big RV.

It takes more effort to maintain it and care for it. And even in setting up and breaking down camp each time you stop.

So maybe you want to continue RVing. But you don’t want to have to expend the physical effort that’s involved with a bigger rig.

Well if that’s the case, downsizing could be a very good thing for you at that stage of life.

The Last Reason For Downsizing – #12

Now the last thing to cover in this article is that a lot of folks want to live a more minimalistic lifestyle these days.

In fact, they want to get rid of stuff and material things rather than accumulate them.

So if you feel that way, it may make a lot of sense for you to consider downsizing your rig.

For instance, it may be important to you to live a greener lifestyle in general. Or just a more more minimalistic one.

And in that case, downsizing your RV will help. Because it will really force you to not be able to carry as much stuff along with you.

Because you just can’t afford to do that with the weight and space that you have in a smaller RV.

Well, these are all good reasons to think about RV downsizing in the near future.

How Can You Downsize A Motorhome Successfully?

Now let’s talk about how to do it. And let’s assume that you’re a motorhome owner and you’ve got a big rig.

It might even be a Class A diesel pusher or it could be a Super C RV as well. So how do you downsize from those larger rigs?

Well for you Class A diesel pusher owners, you could downsize down to a a gasoline-powered Class A instead.

Downsizing to a gas Class A can be a good choice for diesel pusher owners
Downsizing to a gas Class A can be a good choice for diesel pusher owners

Something around 30 feet or so. And that could be a very good choice for you.

Or you could go even farther and downsize into a class C RV. Because some of them go down to around 25 feet or so.

That could be a very good choice for you and still keep you in a motorhome.

What About Towable RVs?

But now what about you luxury fifth wheel owners? Of course, you’ve got a rolling apartment going down the road, right?

Well the good news is that again you can downsize to a smaller fifth wheel.

In fact, there’s a lot of them on the market that are 30 feet or a little bit more. And that could be a very good choice for you instead.

But remember, you also have access to travel trailers as a towable RV too.

Travel trailers let you downsize as far as you want to go
Travel trailers let you downsize as far as you want to go

So you could drop down in size to almost any size RV you want using a travel trailer.

Conclusion

But the bottom line is that if you have a motorhome, there are ways to downsize your RV.

And if you have a towable RV, there’s ways to successfully downsize from there as well. But before I finish here, let me say this.

Not everyone feels the need to downsize their rig or their RV. In fact, there’s a lot of folks that want to go the opposite direction.

They want even more room than they currently have. But the great thing about RVing is the flexibility that it allows you.

You can adjust your living space to choose whatever you feel is going to make you happy. And that is a very good thing!

Have safe and happy travels my friends!

Travel Trailer Toy Haulers – The Top 3 Brands To Buy

This article is about the top three travel trailer toy haulers to buy now.

But first, why are toy haulers so popular these days? I mean you really do see them just about everywhere now, right?

Well suppose you have toys that you like to take along with you camping. Things like dirt bikes, ATVs, jet skis and motorcycles.

Well then, you can take them right along with you as you travel and camp.

Travel trailer toy haulers are great for taking your toys with you when camping

And you can have them in a very safe and protected environment as you travel. So a lot of people love that!

Table of Contents

Are Travel Trailer Toy Haulers Just For Owners Of Toys?

But what if you don’t have toys that you want to take camping? Can a toy hauler be of benefit to you anyway?

Well the good news is that toy haulers are very versatile. Because of the garage area that usually is found in the back of the RV.

It often runs between 8 to 13 feet in length. And it can be used as almost anything you like.

For instance, it could be used as office space. Or maybe another bedroom. Or a gym, home school, workshop or pet room. The list goes on and on.

It’s only limited in use by your imagination. So I think you can see why toy haulers appeal to a wide range of RV owners then.

And there are three main types of RV toy haulers that you see most commonly.

The Three Main Types Of Toy Haulers

First of all, is fifth wheel toy haulers. And that’s the one that’s probably the most common type of toy hauler that you see out there.

So when most people think about toy haulers they often have a fifth wheel in mind.

But there are motorhome toy haulers too. And what I’m going to cover in this article are travel trailer toy haulers as well.

We’ll be covering the best brands of travel trailer toy haulers to buy too.

But first, let’s talk about the pros of travel trailer toy haulers and why you might want one.

The Main Advantages of Travel Trailer Toy Haulers

And one big pro is that they are often less expensive than fifth wheel or motorhome toy haulers. So that’s a big advantage to many RV buyers!

Then the next pro is that they’re often lighter than other toy haulers.

In fact, some of them are light enough to be pulled by some modern half-ton gas powered trucks. Or 3/4 diesel powered trucks.

So in many cases, RV buyers may already have the tow vehicle that they can use with the toy hauler.

Another pro is they’re a good choice for off-road camping or boondocking.

They just lend themselves to that more so than a fifth wheel or a motorhome toy hauler.

Because they are smaller and therefore it’s easier to take them off-road in remote areas.

A Few More Travel Trailer Toy Hauler Pros To Consider

Another pro has to do with the suspension and the axle on these kind of RVs.

They are often more robust or heavy duty than normal travel trailers. Because of the extra weight being carried. And lots of people like that.

Now the next pro is that there is a wide range of lengths and floor plans to choose from. And that’s a good thing too.

And the final pro has to do with the ramp that you can use to put your toys up in the garage area.

In many cases, it can also double as an outside patio area. And boy do people love that!

OK, so those are some of the pros of travel trailer toy haulers. Some of the reasons why you might want to buy one yourself.

But now, what are the brands that have a reputation for quality? And for good customer service after the sale?

Well I’m going to give you three brands to consider here in this article.

And the first one is Grand Design. Now Grand Design makes two travel trailer toy hauler models to consider.

The first one has a fiberglass exterior, and it’s the momentum G-Class.

Travel trailer toy haulers - Grand Design Momentum G-Class

Also, the G-Class has eight floor plans to choose from. And that’s really impressive.

Those floor plans start at 26 feet in length and go up to 36 feet in total length.

And the MSRP cost right now starts around $60,000 for this model.

But then Grand Design also makes the Momentum MAV. It’s an aluminum sided RV with two floor plans to choose from.

Momentum MAV toy hauler

And they range between 26 – 32 feet in length. MSRP starts at a much more affordable $39,000 for this model which is very attractive to many.

Now let’s move on to the second recommendation on my list for this article.

And that’s KZ. They currently only offer one model of travel trailer toy hauler. It has a fiberglass exterior. And it’s the Sportster X.

Travel trailer toy haulers - KZ Sportster X

It appears that there are two floor plans being offered. But the length has yet to be determined for this year.

Also, MSRP is not available yet. So hopefully there will more information on that coming soon.

Until recently, KZ had sold some aluminum sided travel trailer toy haulers.

But it appears that they are moving away from those models at this point.

However, they have a well established history in the field of toy haulers. So they remain on my recommended list based on that.

Now let’s move to our third brand for recommendation. And that is Keystone.

Interestingly, Keystone makes more models of travel trailer toy haulers than the others I’m mentioning here.

So let’s start with the Raptor Carbon model. And the first one we will consider has an aluminum exterior.

Keystone Raptor Carbon aluminum exterior

It has two floor plans available between 32 – 33 feet in length. And the MSRP begins at $36,000, which is very affordable.

Next up is the Fuzion Impact aluminum trailer which also has two floor plans. And they range from 32 – 33 feet in length as well.

Keystone Fuzion Impact aluminum exterior

But the Impact starts at a little higher cost as MSRP begins at $45,000.

Then there’s the Raptor Carbon that is built with a fiberglass exterior.

Keystone Raptor Carbon fiberglass exterior

It has three floor plans to choose from that range from 36 – 38 feet in length. And MSRP begins at $72,000 for these fiberglass models.

A Few Words About The Brands I Have Picked

OK, so these are the brands and models that I’m going to recommend that you start with. If you’re looking for travel trailer toy haulers.

Once again, it’s Grand Design, KZ and Keystone. Now there are other great travel trailer toy hauler brands out there other than these here.

But I do believe that these are a really good place to start in your search.

Now let me emphasize too that this list is not based, like so many other recommendation lists are, on features and layout and things like that.

No, I’m making these recommendations based on the reputation of the brand and model for overall quality build. And for customer service after the sale.

But having said that, here’s another important thing to keep in mind as you shop for new RVs.

A Final Important Word Of Caution

All RV manufacturers struggle with quality consistency to one degree or another. Mainly because they are still built mostly by hand.

So I’m going to recommend that you should get an RV inspection on any new RV that you buy.

Get an RV inspection on any new RV you buy
Get an RV inspection on any new RV you buy

And that includes the brands and models that I mentioned here in this article.

Then you can use the inspection list that the inspector will give you about all the issues and problems that came out of the factory.

And you can give that list to the dealer and make sure you get all those problems resolved right away.

Just make sure that you take that final step before you take ownership of the RV.

That way your first trip in that RV is most likely going to be a very pleasurable one.

And you shouldn’t have to spend a good portion of your first year getting the RV’s problems fixed under warranty.

Conclusion

Well hopefully, this list of the top three travel trailer toy haulers will be of help for you.

So you can find the quality RV that fits you and your camping needs perfectly.

Have safe and happy RV travels!

Motorhome Suspension Upgrades – Improve Ride And Handling

In this article I’m going to be talking about motorhome suspension upgrades.

And how to use them to make ride and handling improvements for your RV.

This is especially important information for owners of gas class A RVs and class C RVs.

Watch my video on motorhome suspension upgrades

Table of Contents

What RV Chassis Needs Motorhome Suspension Upgrades?

And primarily I’m going to be referring to Ford chassis suspensions in this article. Because they are used an awful lot in RV motorhomes.

Now with Class C RVs you’re going to see a lot of Ford E350 and E450 chassis setups.

A typical Class C RV
A typical Class C RV

And with gasoline-powered Class A RVs you’re going to see a lot of the Ford F-series chassis being used.

A typical gas-powered Class A RV
A typical gas-powered Class A RV

So the question is – why are they so popular and in such widespread use?

Well, one reason is because they have been pretty reliable and trustworthy overall. And they have a proven track record through the years.

Chassis Problems That Require Motorhome Suspension Upgrades

But they do have problems! And there are lots of RV owners out there complaining of undesirable ride and handling issues.

And it’s so prevalent among motorhome owners that I felt the need to write this article. So let’s cover the issues that these RVs have.

And one undesirable characteristic is a tendency to ride rough. In fact, some motorhomes built on the Ford chassis are just awful to drive.

And when you hit even small bumps in the road, it just jars you hard inside the RV.

Sometimes it almost feels like it’s going to knock the fillings right out of your teeth. And that makes for a very poor RV travel day!

Other Chassis Issues That Are Unpleasant

Now another characteristic is that sometimes they can exhibit rocking and rolling tendencies. Especially in the wind, or when going around corners.

And excessive lean in the corners can also be experienced. But another undesirable trait is having “tail wag” in the back of the RV.

This is where the tail is drifting from side to side on the road. But up front the steering is wandering too.

So what that results in is the driver going back and forth with the steering wheel just trying to keep the RV going straight down the highway.

Now some of the issues that I just mentioned can be very different from one RV to another.

And a lot depends on the manufacturer and the way they put the RV onto the chassis at the factory.

How Serious Are These Chassis Problems?

Sometimes the issues I’ve mentioned here are just a little annoying. But at other times they can be very serious too.

And that often results in “white knuckle driving”. Grabbing that steering wheel with the grip of death.

Because you’re afraid that it may get out of control at any point. And that’s a very unpleasant experience to have!

But now let’s talk though about another reason why these chassis are so popular. Even despite their undesirable handing characteristics.

And that is that the class C and the gasoline-powered Class A are the least expensive of the larger motorhomes. At least that is often the case.

Now we’re not talking about Class B RVs here. They’re not in this discussion at all as they are smaller motorhomes.

But what we are talking about here are larger motorhomes instead.

And if the cost of the RV is important to a buyer, most often it’s going to be a Class C or a gas Class A that they choose.

So as a result, the manufacturers want to keep the price down as much as they can.

And one of the ways they do that is in the cost of the chassis. And the Ford chassis is a fairly inexpensive one for RV manufacturers to use.

But they just simply do not have hardly any advanced or updated technology in them.

So as a result, they often ride just like the heavy truck chassis that they really are.

But the good news here though is that you actually can make them ride better than they do. With better handling characteristics as well.

And this can be accomplished with just a few adjustments or motorhome suspension upgrades.

What To Do Before Making Suspension Upgrades

But before we get to that, let me mention something that is important to keep in mind.

And that is something you need to do before you start modifying your chassis in any way.

You need to make sure that you have the suspension already in good shape. That way any modifications you make will actually work.

For instance, before you do anything, check your tires first. Believe it or not, they can impact your ride and handling in very significant ways.

So make sure that they’re in good shape. Make sure that the tire pressures are adjusted correctly for the weight you have in your RV.

The next step is to look carefully at the stock suspension that came with the RV.

Do you have any broken parts in the suspension? Are there excessively worn parts or equipment that needs attention?

If so, then make sure that you get those issues fixed first before you make any modifications to the RV’s suspension.

Now once you have your tires and suspension in really good shape, how does the RV handle?

If you still notice there are some ride and handling issues, then it’s time to think about motorhome suspension upgrades.

The Reason Why I Installed A Steering Stabilizer Bar

Now interestingly, about a year and a half ago I had a steering stabilizer bar installed on my motorhome.

It’s called the “Safe T Plus” steering stabilizer. That’s the name of the company that makes the stabilizer bar I had installed on my rig.

I had the Safe T Plus Steering Stabilizer Bar installed at their facility

And the reason I had it installed on my diesel pusher motorhome was not for an improvement with ride and handling.

But actually, I installed it mainly for safety reasons rather than ride characteristics.

Because I’m very conscious about the possibility of a tire blowout on the front end of my motorhome.

And one of the suggestions for helping in that area is a steering stabilizer bar. So I got the Safe T Plus bar installed.

And I went to their facility in Tallapoosa, Georgia to get the job done by their professionals.

What I Learned At The Safe T Plus Facility

While there, I found out that they have a whole array of suspension upgrades that are available as well.

Safe T Plus has a whole array of motorhome suspension upgrades available

And many of them are especially for the Ford chassis problems that are so common.

So I talked to them quite a bit about it while I was there getting my stabilizer bar installed. And here is what I learned while I was there.

First of all, they’re always going to recommend a Safe T Plus bar installation for most RVers.

The Safe T Plus steering stabilizer bar
The Safe T Plus steering stabilizer bar

Because it really does help with RV steering and it’s a safety issue as well. So that’s a great place to start.

What Motorhome Suspension Upgrades Are Best?

But what if your coach is exhibiting “tail wag” and wandering around in the steering?

For that they recommend “radius rods” for the front. And a “trac bar” for the rear of the motorhome suspension.

Trac bars for the rear of your motorhome

That combination will lock down the suspension going forward. And keep it moving in a straight line down the highway.

But what about those body roll issues? Where you’re rocking and rolling and leaning going around corners?

Well, the recommendation in that case is to consider installing “Sumo Springs” on your RV.

And Sumo Springs are very popular with a lot of Ford chassis owners out there. So they can make a big difference with RV body roll.

But also consider “sway bars” for your rig too. They will also help lock down the chassis suspension so it can’t move side to side too much.

Sway bars can help with body roll too

Can You Really Improve Harsh Ride In Your Motorhome?

Now the final point I want to talk about is what about the harsh ride characteristics of the Ford chassis?

Well, I wish I had a whole lot better news for you on that particular issue.

But the truth is that with the Ford chassis, you’re only going to improve it so much.

And it may never get to the point where you have the same kind of ride that air suspension in a diesel pusher motorhome provides.

A Very Costly But Effective Upgrade To Consider

At least not without investing in a costly major suspension overhaul. Like the Liquid Spring aftermarket product.

I made a video about that suspension modification that really does seem to get the job done. And you can view the video on it here.

Click here to watch my video on Liquid Spring motorhome suspension upgrades
Click here to watch my video on Liquid Spring suspensions

But just bear in mind that it will be far more expensive than the modifications we are talking about in this article.

However, you can make the harsh ride of the Ford chassis better without going quite that far.

A More Economical Way To Improve Your Harsh Motorhome Ride

And the place to focus on more than any other is often the suspension’s shock absorbers.

So make sure you get a good set of shock absorbers on that chassis to improve the ride.

And what Safe T Plus recommended in that case is “Koni shock absorbers”.

Koni shock absorbers can help a lot with harsh motorhome ride

In fact, when I talked to them about it I was very impressed with what they had to say.

So much so, that I went ahead and put Koni shocks on my diesel pusher as well. Especially since the shocks on it were kind of old.

And you know what? I was very pleased with the results of the changes they made. And I’m very happy with everything that they installed.

Now here’s one thing that I do want to mention after going through all of these suspension upgrades though.

A Very Important Piece Of Advice

They made sure to tell me to not to recommend throwing everything at your chassis or suspension all at once. That’s a big mistake!

In fact, sometimes you can actually make things worse when you do that.

So what they recommended is incremental changes to your suspension instead.

In other words, make some changes and see how it works out. And if something needs to be adjusted, you can do that afterward.

Then move on and make another change if you still need help with ride or handling.

So the final point I want to make here is don’t do too much at one time!

Instead, here’s what I recommend. If you have ride and handling problems or suspension issues, then give them a call first.

Tell them what your issues are and what what chassis you have with your RV. Then just discuss it with them for a while.

As you do, they can make recommendations to you for upgrades on your particular suspension. Upgrades that can make a real difference.

How To Get Your Motorhome Suspension Upgrades Installed

And then they can ship the parts right to you if you are very handy and good with tools.

In fact, they say that you might be able to install these parts yourself in that case.

But honestly, for most of us, we’re going to need to find a local repair shop to do the work instead.

One that’s familiar with RV suspensions. Then you can have them install the parts for you to be sure that the work is done right.

And very often truck repair facilities can work very well for that kind of installation.

But if you want to, you can do what I did and just go to the Safe T Plus factory.

You can get your motorhome suspension upgrades installed at the Safe T Plus factory
You can get your motorhome suspension upgrades installed at the Safe T Plus factory

There you can have them install the upgrades you need in Tallapoosa, Georgia. Then you know it’s done right the first time!

And you know what? I was very pleased with the work that they did for me on my motorhome suspension.

Now let me say that I am not affiliated with Safe T Plus or compensated by them in any way.

I am just a believer in the products they sell and the work they do.

Conclusion

OK, those are the suspension upgrades that I wanted to suggest for you in this article.

Now we all wish that that the Ford motorhome chassis had a lot better ride and handling than it does.

But wishing will not make it happen. However, you don’t have to travel in your motorhome these days feeling either unsafe or uncomfortable.

And the suspension upgrades I have covered in this article can help make sure of that.
