Looking at 35ft 2008 Monaco Cayman 325HP diesel with air suspension.
It's on a 204" Roadmaster chassis. I'm going out of state to see it and a little concerned about highway stability and ride. Can you tell me your experience with such a rig? Thanks

This is likely on the "less than well respected" Roadmaster 4 bag suspension.

If so, verify that the rear trailing arms have been upgraded:

Also, a 35' coach on a 204" wheelbase gives you a WB/OL of under 50%, so handling, particularly in a cross wind will not be as good as coaches with better WB/OL ratios.
