  • How to Improve Handling and Ride of 2018 Jayco Precept 35S

  • How To Help Keep Steering Wheel Centered On Jayco Precept 31U
  • The best option to help tighten up the steering and keep from having to make continual adjustments to stay in a straight light would be to add a steering stabilizer which is designed for these exact issues.

I recommend the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # TH69TX which can accommodate bikes weighing up to 60lbs each and tires up to 5" wide, but is limited to a combined weight of 160lbs. This rack is rated for use on a motorhome, and would be great on a vehicle as well if needed.

  • SumoSprings or Air Bags for 2016 Jayco RV on Ford F-53 Chassis
  • For your 2016 Jayco RV built on the Ford F-53 chassis, I recommend going with the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs over an air bag kit. These springs will provide you with excellent support to level your ride and minimize any sway that you are experiencing. Unlike air bags that you will have to inflate and deflate depending on your load (along with making sure they stay at the minimum inflation level during the off season), the SumoSprings can be pretty much left alone after the initial...

  • Recommended Helper Spring Product for Class A Motorhome on 2018 Ford F-53 Chassis
  • I'd recommend the SumoSpring product over the Timbren, because of the ride quality. The rubber used in the Timbren springs is pretty stiff. The product works very well in that it offers plenty of support but you will experience a fairly harsh ride once the suspension gets compressed. The SumoSprings are constructed of a microcellular urethane, and have a bit more give to them which will yield a more comfortable ride. The SumoSprings will also reduce sway and body roll during turns. I'd...

A King Short mattress like the etrailer eDream Deluxe RV Mattress # e57FR measures 75 inches long x 72 inches wide. The mattress will overhang the plywood by about an inch on both sides and an inch along the bottom of the bed. The eDream Deluxe mattress is the "better" option in the line of eDream mattresses that are ranked as good, better, and...
