1994 winnobago Brave 33RQ

Is a 1994 33RQ Brave Chevy 454 a coil front independent suspension
Or is it front leaf suspension it's at the 16000 lbs weight I Ijust wonder ing the difference. I'm sure it has auto park also .
I was comparing it to 27RC witch has coil spring front and no auto park.

  • I had a 1995 and it was coil with airbags inside the springs.
  • 1994 should have coil springs and air bags inside them.
    Parking brake is electric. When you put it in park it will set, or by applying parking brake manually by depressing parking brake pedal.
  • My 95 Brave 31ft had coil springs in the front with air bags and the transmission had the park pawl and manual parking brake. Depending on chassis weight you will either have manual parking brake or the dreaded autopark (higher weight chassis will have autopark).
  • Thanks for the insite on the model .
    Not a fan of auto park at all. 1994 still have 16 inch wheels or did they go bigger?
    On the Chevy chassis. I was shopping for a friend to try and get him in to a motorhome. And came across a 33RQ that even made me think of upgrading . Newer ones are just littered with tech issues .
    I'm stuck in the 90s lol . You work on them and know them . Who wants to start that all over again .lol

  • Mine had 19.5 wheels and tires. I think the Class C were 16 inch.
    There used to be a chart on the web that showed what weight chassis got the autopark, you may have to do a google search to find it.
  • My 93 has 19.5 tires and wheels!
    I believe the Ford chassis used smaller tires and wheels.
  • My 1992 27RC has 7.50 -16 and Manuel parking brake foot peddle on left side.
    I put a set of custom 3990 lb super
    springs $400 in front and got rid of front
    Air bags. Thing rides like a car. I was able to put them in myself . But works so good I would hate to trade. 0nly has 47000 miles on it.
