Shock’s or Air Bags

The ride up to Gatlinburg last week was awesome but riding up I-95 through S. Carolina was like driving on the moon. They really need to upgrade their roads. I need some recommendations on how to smooth out the ride. I have a 2014 Fourwinds 28A.

You can't. Especially not I95 in SC south of I26.

The heavier the vehicle the stiffer the suspension has to be. That translates into feeling every crack in the road waaay more than you would in you car.

Make sure your tires are not over-inflated is the best you can do.

My tires call for 80 psi. Should I be lowering that ?

Get the coach weighted and set the pressure to the tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure to weight.

Are you saying you have the MAXIMUM pressure your tires are rated for in your tires?

I suggest you find the manufacture's tire sticker for your RV and use that for your tire pressure until you have an opportunity to get the RV weighed.

Looks like:


Then go back and review the thread you started months ago on the same subject:

You got money?

Replace your Class C suspension completely. This is the way.
