Question:
Just arrived home after a 3500 Mike trip in 2017 Windsport 28m. Many times throughout the trip the ride was so rough I wondered what wouldn’t work when we arrived at our camp sight. During one specific drive the screws below my drivers seat came lose and pushed through the linoleum. After reattaching the screws I lowering the pressure in my front tires to 90 psi. But continued to have a terrible ride home. Thoughts on improving ride? Love the coach, hate the ride. Help

Expert Reply:
You might begin by reviewing the acceptable range of inflation for the tires on your coach as well as examining the existing suspension to ensure it's in good shape.
If that all checks out, I'd recommend going with an air ride suspension from Air Lift. An air ride system like # AL57344 for the rear axle and # AL88240 for the front axle would allow you to adjust the firmness of the ride until its perfect for your needs. An onboard dual-path compressor system like # AL25856 would allow you to add or remove pressure from the system with the flick of a switch. You'll be able to individually control the front and rear suspension individually.
I've linked to an install video for the compressor system. The video shows it being installed on a truck, but since the compressor isn't a vehicle specific item, the video should still prove to be helpful.
