Soooo .... is your motorhome on the Chevy 4500 chassis?
Soooooo...... To answer your question............NO
I have been test driving the new ones and in the same make and model on the different Chassis and the Chevy 4500 was WAY smoother and didn't rattle my fillings Than the same one on a Ford Chassis.
As for the reason I guess you would have to ask the engineres.
That is why I started this thread to see if any one has had any problems with the Chevy Chassis,so far all I have found out is that they get better fuel mileage, ride smoother,have more leg room and dont have the inherant front end problems.
The rest is just chin waggin. :B
The answer may only be obvious when you load it to capacity and see how the springs hold upon over time. Several of the Chev Kodiaks were delivered with rear springs that "in theory" were adequate as to weight ratings but in practice they sagged and leaned and the owners had to have them bumped from 15.5k to 19k. My Kodiak gasser was 13.5 and it also leaned a bit and the back hung down a bit. Some who had the weaker springs had to get them bolstered so they wouldn't grind their driveways with the hitch because of the approach angle.
These type of problems usually do not show themselves in test drives - especially empty.
