eldel,that sounds great. Your list of upgrades sounds very good.
On the TPMS make sure that you put them on metal valve stems, I would suggest the Extended Valve Stems from Dually Valve is a great choice. They make checking the air pressure a lot easier and are made for TPMS use.
A good set of Bilstein Shocks would also be a great addition.
Good Luck on the pickup of the RV and please come on back and tell us how it all went.
We had dually valve stems already fitted by Cruise America on our 27G which i always thought was great. Then i thought about my spare which had a long straight stem for the inner dualy position and wondered if it would cause a problem fitting this anywhere else if needed in an emergency (never had to do it). Also there has been problems with renewing tires and the valve stem getting in the way on the tire rig - with difficulty it was done twice OK. The problem being Walmart did not have any spare stems.Any ones thoughts on trhois and is it a good idea to carry a spare set?
Just found this on trhe dually link given
TPMS
Duallyvalve stems DO NOT work with INTERNAL TPMS. Duallyvalves can work with External TPMS that go on the end of the valve stem.
Balancing
Having Duallyvalves makes it difficult for the tire shop to balance your inner tires on a standard machine due to the long inner valve stem. Duallyvalve is compatible with internal Balancing Compounds.
Tire Rotation
Having Duallyvalves make it difficult for the tire shop to rotate your tires. Inner stems, Outer stems and Front stems are all different. You can rotate Inner with Inner, Outer with Outer and Front with Front.
