  1. Great story 🙂 My wife and I have finally purchased an RV . Itis a 22 foot 1986 Winnebago. It’s road manners are so scary that I am afraid that I will need to have the parts shipped to my driveway 🙁 The air bags are both blown and I have read that replacing the front springs and getting good shocks could be a good start . All of this soon !

    • Mike, look at it this way – – with a 1986 RV, you’re going to have gobs of opportunity to fix things up!!

      As for road manners, the most bang-for-buck (in Howie) were:
      TRACKBAR (fix sway and oversteer)
      SWAYBAR (fix sway and roll)
      SHOCKS (fix jounce, ride quality)

      My advice is if your shocks aren’t leaking, don’t just swap them for Koni’s. My brother-in-law did that and hardly noticed a difference. Wait until your wallet is fatter, and go for quad shocks at both ends. I’m now running 8 shocks on Howie, and it’s a world of difference in ride and handling, even after I’d done all the other stuff.

      If you want some other ideas, go see my post on modifications and upgrades (Sep 2016?). I’d give you the link but my Internet is so poor today I can’t navigate.

      Good luck and have tons of fun (we do).
