First long trip taking out our brand new 2018 winnebago Vista. Roughest ride ever! Feel every bump in the road and am seriously concerned about damage or things shaking loose. 5 days into trip and unit is getting new squeaks!!Any suggestions on how to improve the suspension. Are there modifications that can be done to the suspension like air bags different shocks or something? would love to hear.
The Ford F-53 chassis will need improvements over time to drive better, learn as much as you can on here, 1st check air pressure, you should be running around 80 psi, do the CHF to help with sway, maybe softer shocks, air bags, etc, will need to be added over time and than it will become a nice driving motorhome.
Here is a list of what I have done.
Monroe RV shocks.
Air bags on front and back axle, 25psi front bags/40psi back bags.
CHP, Cheap handling fix.
and I have run 75 psi in front tires for 3 years without issues, much softer ride in front, do not go below 80 psi in back.
{19.5 tires is what I have}
