For your 2003 Four Winds Hurricane built on a Ford F-53 chassis, we have a Firestone and an Air Lift option for the front airbags.

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2070 will fit vehicles with a GVWR between 16,000 and 22,000 lbs but it will not fit Thor Motorhome models.

The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers part # AL88140 is designed for vehicles with a GVWR less than 26,000 lbs.

Both kits have a capacity of 5,000 lbs and will require drilling as per the attached installation instructions.

Hey Tim welcome back! Your ARH15AACBL2 GE AC unit has the old 410a refrigerant in it so the GE Appliances item #GE64FR you were looking at isn't going to work as a replacement. The EPA mandated R32 refrigerant has been used in all new AC's…

Hey Gary, this is a great question but the B and W Tongue Weight Scale part #BW34KR that you referenced is totally accurate from it's max down to it's minimum so the accuracy would be considered linear. We tested it on a camper that only had…
