For your 2012 Winnebago 24M on Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 chassis, I recommend the Timbren system consisting of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TMBRSP35A and # TMBFSP35. Timbren is a stiffer support spring than the SumoSprings, so you will feel the support sooner for your motorhome. These springs become more rigid as weigh it added and they work independently for off-center loads and to reduce body roll.

Especially the 7,000 lb rear springs will give more support than the 2,500 lb Sumo Springs can provide and they are designed specifically for motorhome models.
