RV Shakes and Bumps, Rattles & Rolls - Upgrades
My Class C that I just bought feels like it's going to fall apart when I'm driving just down the road. Every small bump is a crash. When I make a turn, it feels pretty much like I'm going to lose the back end. Everything rattles like a 10.0 Earthquake is happening. It is on a Ford E450 Chassis. 2004 model and feels like a 1976 model.
After reading numerous articles and posts by you fine folks, I've decided on some upgrades. Here are the things I'm going to do, the question is, what order is more important. What I'm looking for is a smoother ride and for the motorhome to not feel like it's going to fall apart. I can only afford to do a few of these right now, can you tell me which THREE you would do right now and which you would save for later?
1. Install Bilstein or Koni shocks FRONT & REAR
2. Install Front Sway Bar
3. Install Rear Sway Bar
4. Install Air-Bag/Air-Lift system
5. Install Tracking Bar (front)
6. Install Tracking Bar (rear)
7. Install Steering Stabilizer
8. Install New Leaf Springs
