Sprinter motorhome boondocking
I find the sprinter based motorhomes kind of interesting. From what I've seen most have around 30 gallons fresh water and 30-35 gallons grey/black capacity. How long could a single person boondock wit...

I had while-you-drive-adjustable air bags in my first motor home. What I learned from them was...the more air I put in them, the harsher the ride was...period. For better control when driving conditions were poor, I added more air. When conditions were good again, I would let out all but 15 psi because the system required that as a minimum. With that experience, I am not convinced adding air bags will soften the ride of an otherwise unmodified suspension.
But your idea pnichols is different. First removing a few springs, then "toy" with air pressure in air bags. That idea might render results. But I would first remove one pair of leafs on a short E450 and see if that alone does the trick.
I don't feel comfortable removing any springs in my E350 with an already slight rear sag when fully loaded up. And I fear adding air bags for a little extra lift will just make the ride worse. I'd rather have the slight sag.
Now adding Koni-FSDs, that I'd do if I could justify the expense. If only my adjustable Koni-RV shocks would fail on me. Would someone please come over to my place and punch a hole in each of the four? :)
