Re: rides bad
hobo,
My previous coach was and 00 Dip. Road great. Have your ride height and alignment checked. Many folks who complain about the Roadmaster ride switch to Koni shocks and swear by them. If I remember correctly the 00 came with bilsteins and I swithched all 8 out and it improved the ride not sure what the 02 had on it. Another area to look at is the tires you have the coach. Original tires on the 00 Dip were G165's and they were a rough riding.
V/R

Re: rides bad
HI Hobo, Sounds to me like a "Shock" problem.....or too much air in the tires.....
Personally, I like Blisteen shocks but my MH has leaf springs (Ford F53 chassis).....Some with coil springs or Air bags like Koni FPS......Just two schools of thought..... You might want to research other posts on this problem.... (Sorry if I misspelled ) but you get the idea....

Re: rides bad
Hobo.....I just installed Bilstein shocks on my Dolphin (F53 chassis) and Love them....I replaced Monroes and would never go back
As I mentioned earlier...Koni is also a Fine Shock.....There is a difference of opinion on which is better for which suspension....Leaf Springs tend to respond better with Bilstein shocks and Air bags and coil springs tend to respond better with Koni FPS shocks.....Do your research and talk to as many as you can about this.....I would hate for you to have a bad experience with Blistein shocks when Koni FPS would have been a better choice.....for Your Rig

Re: rides bad
Both are good shocks however I would say for your application go with the Koni seeing how I switched to Koni from Bilstein and noticed and improvement. Do your shopping this will set you back some coin and research to include other sources . Hobo in your post you say new tires and correct pressure. Is the pressure you are using in the tires on a loaded coach determined after weighing? Or off the Placard?
