Having looked at all the links provided, I am truly happy. I had already decided on steering stabilizer, front and rear sway bars, camco 6500 grill, and some form of leveling blocks. I then you-tube searched until I got the following graph in my profile album (pictures for posts) that mirrors what you have so kindly provided here. (tried to insert picture but failed).

So I need to know:
(1) Does the 2019 Vegas 27.7 have a tracking bar built in and does it need help?
Don't worry about a track bar, it's not really necessary in this application.
(2) Is there an important difference between Roadmaster and Safe-T bar stabilizer and sway bars?
Safe-T and Roadmaster stabilizers are very similar, main difference is internal vs. external springs. I have the Safe-T and it works. Hellwig sway bars are cheaper than Roadmaster and they work as good or better.
(3) Sumi springs seem a good idea, anyone think differently?
Sumo springs on the front help, I have them on mine.
(4) Never considered shocks, is it important to upgrade? In Europe (Netherlands) I had Koni shocks on a car and they were outstanding but very stiff.
Koni shocks on the E350's-E450's are stiff also. Bilsteins are WAAAYYYY better than stock.
(5) How flat are rv parks etc. Do you buy a lot of levelers, have vision of no storage space left over. Does anyone have an argument for the best brand? Beginning to think I am going to create storage tubs wherever I can find a space underneath.
Most "RV" parks are pretty level. I'm not a huge fan of onboard levelers. I actually took the "Stabilizer" off the back of my Vegas because it was pretty much worthless and just drug on everything. (Yes, I know it's not a leveler.) Now if I had a big huge diesel pusher and stayed in places for weeks or months on end, I'd probably want a leveling system, but on my Vegas I don't see it as a necessary expense and weight to carry around.
(6) Has anyone tried larger tires. Can 17 inch fit. Unit seems very low. Is it a center of gravity issue? Seems a good deal of transmission and mileage issues would be improved.
Stock tires on the Vegas are cr@p. It was literally the first thing my wife wanted to "mod". As I was doing all the other work on our Vegas, she kept saying "You ARE going to get rid of those stupid little tires aren't you?" Here's what I did... http://www.thorforums.com/forums/f27...gas-14108.html
(I don't recommend doing what I did to my rig for you though.) The taller tires make a HUGE difference. This guy does 17" swaps, they're expensive though and I'm not a fan of the tire choices. It's an easy way for somebody that doesn't want to go crazy on a wheel/tire swap like I did but wants taller/better than stock... https://ricksontruckwheels.com/
(7) Tire pressure units and tire repair kits, preferences, things to miss?
I think I included a link to the tire pressure monitor system I have. There are plenty of others, it's pretty much personal preference or go by the reviews/sales numbers. If you put good tires on it, your chances of blowouts are greatly reduced. As far as tire repair on the road, just buy a plug kit and tool and you'll be able to take care of most little nail/screw issues.
AS always thanks....
