Mich F--I bought a 1994 Callista Cove 28 foot by Carriage. Ford 460 with the E350 chassis. Original owner, garaged, maintained, and used--86,000 miles. Looks just like new inside and out. Has all manuals and maintenance records. Michelin tires in 2010.
Two issues--have a whistle, seems to be around the top right corner of the main entrance door. Shocks have never been replace. I'm looking at Koni and Bilstein. Koni FSD not available for this chassis. Not withstanding the 18 year old shocks and the 86,000 miles it drives great. Picked it up in Kansas Tuesday and drove it back to Panhandle of Florida arriving last night. Now considering no driving/handling issues, (this is my 8th MH), what shocks do I go for. Got to believe the originals should be replaced. We won't be full time camping so won't be loaded very heavy. Will haul family/grandsons with their families now and than but will motel it some of the time, and will probably tow a vehicle on a Dolly now and than. Don't really like a firm ride. I have review the forum for articles on shocks and it seems to be split between the Bilsteins and the Konis. Suggestions welcomed.
