Advice from new Winnebago owners?
We're taking delivery on our first MH in a few weeks, a Winnebago (Itasca) Sunstar 30T & it seems like there are a million things to do & get just to get prepared for it. We have been reading the foru...

Lot's of good advice here.
We have made three short trips now within FL & are leaving tomorrow for another. Things are going well & there have been only a few small problems with the coach which I have been able to fix myself rather than make the trip back to the dealer.
I know others with this coach have spent a lot of money on suspension upgrades but I would prefer not to do that if I can get comfortable with it as is. But I am unsure about how much pressure to run in the tires. I have widely varying opinions from 82 PSI on the sticker by the driver's seat to 110 PSI (max load pressure stated on the tires) which was recommended by the dealer for better handling. It arrived at the dealer's from Winnebago with 90 PSI all around. I am currently trying 110 PSI & do not find the ride harsh or rough to our taste even at that pressure but the biggest problem is with cross wind (which we have had a lot of on our trips so far) & being passed on the interstate by 18 wheelers. I will eventually try & get it weighed but from my own calculations I am sure I am 500 - 1000 lbs under max gross weight with our typical light load.
I would appreciate the experience of others with this model.
Thanks,
Cass
