Recommended Improvement for Ride Quality 2012 Pleasureway Motorhome w/2011 Chevy Van Class B Chassis

Question

Question:

I have a 2012 Pleasureway Lexor MP motorhome, which is based on a 2011 Chevy 3500 Express van. I am trying to improve ride quality. What can you recommend? I was considering Timbren SES but not sure if this will work for a Pleasureway. Anything else you can recommend or any suggestions. Thank You.

I can help you improve the ride quality of your 2011 Chevy Express Van Class B chassis on your 2012 Pleasureway Lexor MP Motorhome.

If your experiencing sag in your rear then the Timbren SES system # TGMRG35 would be a solution for you, if your vehicle needed help being level.

From the sounds of it you would like more of an improved ride quality with a steering stabilization and sway control instead of rear end sag. For better steering and sway control, I would instead recommend a SuperSrings # SSA16 which was designed for your cutaway model. It's important to note that this product only fits vehicles with floor pan that is higher than top of frame. No drilling will be required to install this leaf spring stabilizer and sway control system.

I have linked both parts to this page for your viewing and purchasing convenience.

We do have an option for suspension enhancement for your motorhome on a 2020 Chevy Express 4500 cutaway chassis, but the SuperSprings SSA245-2 won't fit since you do not have the top overload spring, as they are designed to install on top of the…

The biggest pro to using one valve stem to maintain air pressure in an air bag kit is that you always know that both bags will have an equal amount of pressure in them. If you have an application where equal pressure on both sides is always the norm…

I was able to do some digging and found out that Sure-Trac trailers use either a Dexter or Lippert axle, and both of these 3,500 lb axles use the same bearings and grease seal, so we have exactly what you need. The Bearing Kit for #84 Spindle…

You can add an electric lockout to a Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator #T43397007K. To do so, you will want the Replacement Solenoid Valve for Titan Brake Actuators with Reverse Lockouts #T4748800. You can then use the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole…

Answer 7

The brake actuator, #T43397007K, does not have to be primed. After you have replaced the parts needed and reconnected the brake lines, you will fill the reservoir with DOT 3 brake fluid, leave the cap off, and proceed to bleed the brakes. I have…

Answer 8

I like to recommend air spring setups as they offer you the ability to have the exact amount of suspension support you need at any given moment. The Timbren type setups are great but it's more or less a "one size fits all" scenario and…
