Re: Air ride for motorhome
Sorry for the long delay in responding. Took a 3,000 mile trip in June, so it was a good test. First, the Koni FSD's by themselves are really bouncy. Putting them on did get rid of the hard hits on expansion joints that I had with the Bilstein shocks. With the wireless control I can adjust the ride based on road conditions. The air bags have in my opinion, helped the ride.779Views0likes0CommentsRe: Air ride for motorhome

I did not install a compressor, I ran the air lines to the wheel well and aired them up there. I did have to cut some plate from the frame, did not effect the strength of the chassis. Have fun!! What pressure were you running when you started to see ride improvement? What was the improvement? Thanks779Views0likes0CommentsRe: Air ride for motorhome
Perfect timing- I have a 2006 W22 chassis that I am installing Firestone Air Bags next Monday. I already installed the compressor and control valves w/ remote control. Chassis shop will install the bags and run the air lines. Also installing Koni FSD's at the same time. Have previously installed front and rear sway bars, front and rear track bars and a safety+. That really helped in the handeling. Installed a Banks system that improved performance up grades. Now looking to smooth out the ride. Will post results after testing.374Views0likes0CommentsRe: looking for owners of 2004-2005 Pace Arrows

I took the switch by the door that controls the fluorescent light above the steps out to see if there were any wires not connected. It only came out 1/2" so I could see nothing. It would be nice if Fleetwood would build any cabinets that have wiring in them with access panels. The pedestal that those switches are in should have a removable face plate that will give you access to all the wiring, including the lighted door handle.298Views0likes0Comments
