Slideouts on a ClassC: How many?
Interesting here Slideouts are common on Motorhomes but not Caravans in Australia. What do you find is an iptimum number and type?

Chum lee,
That is why my front wheels are at 65 psi and the rear at 80 psi
Hi Don. If those pressures soften the ride and improve the handling, I totally understand/appreciate that.
My ride: A 30' Class A F-53 178" wheelbase chassis (no slides) which is rated at 18,000 lbs. GVWR (11,000 rear and 7,000 front) with actual running weight of 16,560 lbs. It weighs approx. 10,360 rear and 6,200 front. This is fully loaded with all my stuff, +-70 gallons of fuel, +-20 gallons of propane, +-80 gallons of fresh water. The black/grey tanks empty. I like that. I run all my 19.5" tires at 90 psi. As an aging engineer and pilot, I like playing well below the established maximum limits. Years ago, I remember my Flight Instructor telling me, "There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but, there are no old bolt pilots." One of my favorite Engineering Professors also told me, "If you design a bridge that fails, it's best that you be on it, or, under it when it does. IMO, Stockton Rush is a recent perfect example of what they were talking about. DON'T OVERLOAD THINGS!
If you need a bigger motor home, buy one.
