Anyone dealt with Henderson's Lineup?

[Camper_Ken]

I'm considering taking my motorhome (33' Class A gas on Ford F53 chassis) to Henderson's Lineup in Grants Pass, Oregon to have them address the issues I have with it. Most notably is the excessive lean especially going downhill through curves on a mountain highway, and it leans a lot going through a curb cut.

I've heard some great things about Henderson's experience with RV handling issues. I've looked through their website and viewed the various videos. Speaking with them on the phone they said I'd likely be looking at $2,000 - $3,000 to correct the issues I'm concerned with (stabilizer bars, trac bar). And of course I could spend even thousands more to address other handling issues.

I'd like to hear any experiences with Henderson's especially from owners of Ford chassis gas coaches like mine.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

I was there last year. My primary concern was getting blown around in heavy winds in my 30 ft F53.

I took the road test which included weighing my coach on all 4 wheels for the first time. Just getting the right tire pressures helped a lot.

I had new sway bars installed which really helped with the wind problem. I spent a couple of weeks traveling Oregon and paying attention to the new handling. I decided to go back and get the shock work they had recommended done too.

On the trip home it was like a totally different coach, winds didn't both me, it took curves much better. Had to start watching my speed which I hadn't before. The handling of the coach was a built in speed limit, now I have to keep my eyes on the dial.

I spent a lot of money but it was like night and day, the new coach is a dream to drive.

With Henderson they will do the road test and give you a list of things you could do, I ended up doing most but not all. You can focus on what your main problem is and they can tell you what fixes will give you the best bang for the buck.

They have free hookups so you can stay the night at the shop, there are also some nice RV and State parks in the area.

Ken,

No first hand information, but Henderson (or his service manager) is on my panel when I present the Suspension Seminar at the FMCA Conventions. They are one of the 3-4 top motorhome suspension shops in the country. Being in Oregon, I would feel comfortable recommending them to you.
