Better handling

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but we are new to the class A experience, so here goes.

We just bought a Tiffin 36LA, and although it rides pretty good, I'm always interested in better safety and performance.

Looking at adding the Safe T Plus (stabilizer) and changing the sway bars (front and rear) to the CHF.

For those that have tried it, how do you like it?

Thanks,

  • We have a brand new 2022 36 LA with liquid springs on the rear. Having never driven a gasser without liquid springs I have nothing to compare it to but, we just drove cross country from FL to AZ and it handled very well. No mods were done to the front end.

    On good roads it drives like a dream. On bad roads like I-10, prepare to have your brains rattled a bit. This would be the only reason a DP would be better in terms of ride quality. Otherwise, still couldn’t justify the $70K extra cost.
  • Had the CHF front and rear done 5 years ago and all is good with the links, how much it helps would be a good question.

    I’m always a bit leery of ads such as the one in the above link when they use terms such as “More often than not” cause ‘X’ to happen. How often have the links broken when compared to the number of CHF fixes performed? They don’t know (no way for them to know) and have no basis for the assertion.
  • The CHR works great, but I would replace the front sway bar links with longer ones. When switching the holes they become shorter and can limit suspension travel. Did it on my buddys and so far so good with the stick links.

    We also installed a Safe T Plus which he also said was an improvement. I believe Safe T Plus now makes one with a solenoid so you can reset the center position (for wind or road conditions). I have the True Center which does the same thing and I love it.
  • Might want to read this on the Chf. Have run across some that did this and the cost for repair was not nice. If you are having an issue then fix it the right way and enjoy it far longer and a nicer ride. front end alignment and correct air pressure will make a big difference. You might add that tires can and do cause a lot of handing issues.
