Recommended Suspension Enhancements for a Newmar Baystar 3124

Question

Question:

Just ordered a 22 Newmar Baystar 3124 on the F53 V8 chassis. I had a 20 Baystar Sport 2813 on the V10 chassis and the ride quality was awful. I know alot of the suspension upgrades do a really good job of reducing the sway - side to side movement. I am most interested in an upgrade that will smooth out the jarring on less than perfect roads. What upgrades do you recommend for the above mentioned new unit

The most beneficial improvements you can make to the suspension on a motorhome is a rear anti-sway bar, front jounce spring upgrade, and rear jounce spring upgrade. If you require further comfort there are more options but these are the main, most felt upgrades. For a Newmar Baystar 3124 on Ford F-53 you'll need the following:

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM25VR
SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-187-54-1
SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-170-40-2

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

You can use the RV Propane Gas Detector #RS64FR (white) or #RS44FR (black) to replace your current Atwood 31013 propane gas detector. This will also use a 12v, 2-wire installation like your current detector.
