  • Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings for a 2018 Ace 30.2 Motorhome
  • Yes, the front # TFFF53B Timbren suspension enhancement are similar to the front # SSF-170-40-2 SumoSprings for your 2018 Thor ACE 30.2 Motorhome. Timbren is a little more well-known but we have received feedback from our customers that the SumoSprings offer better ride quality as they aren't as stiff. If you are comparing the rear Timbren # TFRF53A with the rear SuperSprings # SSA41 for the leaf springs then they are comparable when it comes to performance but they work slightly different.

  • How to Determine the Correct Outside Range Hood Vent
  • When trying to find a replacement for your outside range hood vent the most important measurement is the opening where the exhaust ducting or outlet exits your RV. Each of the outside range hood vents we carry will fit a roughly 10-1/2" wide x 3-3/4" tall rough opening and will require 10 Screws # 31071 and Sealant # 0160297 to install. The Ventline Wall Vents # V2111-13 and # V2111-55 have a 1-3/4" collar, and # V2111-03 has a 5/8" collar.

  • Recommended Steering Stabilizer For A 2016 Thor Motor Coach A.C.E 29.2 Class A Motorhome
  • For a 2016 Thor ACE Motorhome 29.2 with a Ford F53 chassis and V10 engine the correct steering stabilizer would be the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes # RM33RR. We do not currently offer the Safe T Plus brand so I don't have any fitment information for their products. I've attached one of my installation videos below for this stabilizer where I'll go over the installation process as well as the benefits you can see from installing one.

  • Would Lowering Air Pressure in Motorhome Tires Help Ride Quality
  • Tire pressure can affect ride quality to a certain extent but maybe not as much as you'd like. I'd maybe try it first and see if it gives you enough of an improvement. It's free so can't harm much right? A set of SumoSprings like the part # SSR-187-40-1 is a great option to improve the ride quality out back and then in front the Timbren kit part # TFFF53B.

  • How To Use Separate Magnetic Tow Lights on Tow Dolly with Brakes
  • It sounds like you're trying to use two separate trailer connectors together, one for the tow lights like the Flint Hill Goods Magnetic Tow Lights part # FHG96ZR and one for the tow dolly. We don't carry this exact tow dolly so I can't be sure but it sounds like it has electric brakes but no lights and uses a 7-way. The tow dolly lights will then use a 4-way. In order to have both you'd need to combine the two, the tow dolly and tow lights into one trailer connector, a 7-way. I recommend...

  • Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 Motorhome
  • The biggest difference between the two for your 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 motorhome, and the reason why I highly recommend the SumoSprings over the Timbren, is what each product is constructed from. The Timbrens are made from a strong, rigid rubber while the SumoSprings are made from microcellular urethane. This is important because it means the SumoSprings will compress more gently, while the Timbrens are known to give a much stiffer ride. The front axle and rear axle fits for your 2019 Thor...

  • Regular Generator vs Inverter Generator For Powering AC, Fridge, and TV in Trailer
  • For electronics like a TV, you definitely want an inverter generator. The reason for that is, inverter generator has - true to its name - an inverter block built in. What this does is regulator the amount of current that goes to your appliances. For an inverter generator able to power your AC, a fridge, and TV, I highly recommend a 4,500 starting watt/3,500 running watt option from Champion: - Champion 4,500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator - Gas or Propane # CH44FR A standard...

  • Recommended Anti-Sway Bars For A 2020 Thor ACE Class A Motorhome
  • The correct anti-sway bars for your 2020 Thor ACE Motorhome are going to depend on the GVWR of your model. If you have a GVWR of 16,000 or 18,000lbs then you would want the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-146 for the rear. If you have a GVWR of 18,001 - 21,999 the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-145 will fit as long as the shock mounts are parallel to the ground and have two holes (pictured below).

  • Anti-Sway Bar Fit for 2015 Thor A.C.E. 27.1 Motorhome on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • The best way to enhance the ride of your 2015 Thor ACE 27.1 which was built on a Ford F-53 chassis is to add a rear anti-sway bar because their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for the greatest improvement in handling and stability for the vehicle. Air bags offer some support, but won't be as effective at overall handing improvements as a rear anti-sway bar. After that you can further improve the ride by adding a front anti-sway bar and steering stabilizer; the combination...

This is 19 foot wide like you have now and extends out 9' 8" and is powered so you don't have to manually operate it as well. Then for a light kit the part # LC674283 would work really well.

  • Which Air Bag Kit Is Correct For 2016 Thor ACE 30.1 Motorhome
  • For a 2016 Thor ACE 30.1 the correct air suspension is the # AL88240 from AirLift, which will give you 5,000lbs of support to the rear suspension of your motorhome. The kit includes the Schroeder valve to manually inflate the air bags as needed, though its a lot easier to go ahead and install an air compressor kit like the # F2158 to allow you to adjust the air pressure in the air bags as needed from the driver seat.
