    Leveling my ride

    I got a 2000 international DT466e 7.5 window(28ft), dognose style bus. Air bags in the back, just leaf springs in the front. Despite being fully built out she squats in the front, a good 2-4 inches lower in the front than the rear. Well, this is really messing with living in it. My sink...

    2008 23b Rockwood Roo Suspension

    Hello All, I have searched this forum but have not found any information on my 23b Roo (Hybrid) torsion axles. Has anyone had any luck on replacing or using an alternative type of axle? I have not been able to find axle specs on my Roo.

    Trailer suspension upgrades?

    For now, I'm asking Surveyor owners, because of the consistency of design and parts but I'll measure the axle centers in a bit and anyone with the same configuration, is welcome to join in. I'm interested in toughness (for minor off roading / boondocking and smoothness. There can be trade offs...

    Isata 5 28SS rear suspension upgrade?

    The rear of our coach seems to sag a little, loaded or unloaded. Has anyone done any suspension upgrades to raise the rear suspension up? Also curious, is the wheel base longer on a 30' than our 28'? Thanks

    Hey, new Forest River E-Pro owner, having decided to "go back to my roots with a pull behind after last 20 years of owning Class C's. With kids gone I decided driving a "house" down the road wasn't really necessary anymore. Very happy with the quality and ease of use of the E Pro, just what...

    Looking for recommendations for suspension parts for Dodge B3500 Roadtrek 190V

    I have a '96 Dodge B3500 Roadtrek 190V. According to a Dodge dealer it has the 4000lb front axle (the sticker under the hood isn't legible). The front suspension is pretty much worn out, squeaks, and one of the ball joints has no boot. Whenever the weight shifts forward the van pulls to one...

    Suspension Upgrade for Sunseeker?

    It's a 2014-vintage 24 ft. std. Ford chassis class C. Low miles. I'm getting the tires rotated before a trip north, but she does seem to bottom out on potholes and rides pretty rough. Any recommendations for shocks/struts/other suspension upgrades worth the investment? TIA

    Thoughts on suspension

    My bus already has rear bags and I've been thinking, how much of an undertaking would it be to add bags to the front? I was thinking about adding controls to set my ride height anyways and began mulling that idea over. I don't expect it to be an easy task but has anyone tried this before?

    2023-2024 IBEX, NOBO suspension RECALL 24V-029

    Has anyone had the curt suspension recall repaired? I'm curious how long it took. I realize torquing the nuts won't take long, however if the bolts are spinning, they would have to remove part of the under belly covering to access the bolt on the top of the frame which would increase the time...

    Surveyor 202RBLE Suspension

    I'm considering purchase of the Surveyor 202RBLE this spring. It has the perfect layout and size for me. The only possible drawback is the leaf spring suspension. I currently own a IBEX 19QBS and it has torsion bar suspension which has a very smooth ride. Should I be concerned about the leaf...

    Isata 5 Suspension Changes

    I just had a salesman at MHS say that Dynamax is having problems with the front air suspension system on the Isata 5s, which is why none of the 24s (stock or incoming) have the front air. I read another post confirming the Moryde RSX system will be used on the Isata 5s. I was wondering if...

    Check your suspension often!

    Just a friendly suggestion / recommendation to visually check your trailer's suspension components regularly after we had a terrible experience of broken parts causing a 9 day delay in our trek to our Winter RV park in AZ and an extra $ 4,700 expense. :crying: Our 2020 Riverstone 39RKFB has...

    Bushings - science experiment

    A topic that never fails to generate strong differences of opinions. Bushings: bronze, nylon or the ever elusive "NeverFail". In April 2023, I replaced my, once again, failed bronze bushings with new bronze bushings. Put the trailer in storage and brought it home to prep for an upcoming trip...

    Tilted Trailer, odd suspension

    Hi fellow travelers. We returned last week from a week camping. I noticed the trailer seemed tilted from the front (hope I can download the photos). Never looked like that before. The distance from the ground to the rim of the wheel shroud is about an inch less on the right side than on the...

    Travato 59K Suspension Lift and Skid Plates Questions

    Howdy, Heading to Alaska early next summer and we prefer to boondock when possible on side roads. Since our generator is barely 5.5" off ground, anything more than the slight berm that occurs between tire tracks will surely take it out. I am looking for suggestions are to successful installs...
