Question:

Hello, I have a brand new 2019 Thor Chateau 31Y RV that sites on a 2018 Ford E450 chassis. I want to upgrade my sway bars and shocks. I want to get quality parts that will last and really improve the ride. What components do you recommend I purchase? Thanks

Thank you for all of the info!

According to Roadmaster you need the Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-176 and the Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-147.

Then for suspension enhancement I recommend the SumoSprings # SSR-106-54-1 for the rear and # SSF-106-47 for the front. The SumoSprings provide more support as more weight is added and the best part about them is that once you install them there is no maintenance. We have had a lot of customers install these on motorhomes and they love them because of this. This is the best option we have to upgrading your shocks as we don't carry replacement shocks for your motorhome.

I have attached some review videos for you to check out.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
