THOR #14024
Hi everyone, thanks for all the commentary and advice. I thought you might be interested in what we decided.
The primary goal is to be able to drive the Vegas with the least physical effort and greatest safety. The secondary goal is to travel with the greatest ride control.

We will get larger tires to simply reduce the probable ground clearance problems we would have where we live and bottoming out over curbs on the road.

We are going to get a Roadmaster steering stabilizer to mitigate the front tire blowout danger and steering fatigue, front and back sway bars to mitigate body roll and side wind interactions, front and rear SumoSprings to further mitigate sway, improve handling and keep the unit from sagging under load (important because of larger tires – other choice is to add leaf spring blades).

We will upgrade the shocks to Bilstein Motorhome Heavy Duty shocks to reduce bounce. If the Thor doesn’t have a track bar we will get one.

For the rest, we are going to take a driving course and have started the you-tube videos.

Thanks so much for all the advice....
