We have the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle, # SSR-106-47-1. This is a confirmed fit for the 2014 Thor Chateau Motorhome 22E, 23U, 24C, 26A, and 28A - Ford Chassis. These 4,600-lb Capacity. Maintenance-free microcellular urethane springs upgrade your Thor Chateau Motorhome's rear suspension. They cushion bumps and support a heavy load to level your ride and minimize sway. Springs attach at top and bottom for constant support.

You can upgrade your Thor Chateau Motorhome's front suspension with these maintenance-free helper springs, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle, # SSF-106-40 is also a confirmed fit for the 2014 Thor Chateau Motorhome 22E, 23U, 24C, 26A, and 28A - Ford Chassis.

For anti-sway bars I suggest for the front axle the Roadmaster kit # RM-1139-176 which replaces the factory bar. For the rear axle Roadmaster offers a kit that requires drilling, part # RM-1139-147.

Please note the attached links to review and installation videos.

We offer several choices in spare tire carriers for 2-inch hitches like the one on your 2017 Winnebago Travato. None of these folds, however. A folding mechanism would severely reduce the carrier's rigidity and this is the main reason such items…

To carry that much weight you'd need the Yakima EXO with two cargo boxes part #Y74ZR which has an 80 lb weight capacity for the top box and a 100 lb capacity for the bottom box. Then to give you the additional clearance past the rear of the…

The Lionshead Steel Dual Wheel, 4.75" Pilot - Silver, Item #LHHA420 is a 16" x 6" wheel with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern, so as long as your Class C motorhome wheels have the same bolt pattern and are the same 16" x 6"…

Hi Eric, Airstreams typically have small tongues but if you have the space you could install the Demco Spare Tire Mount #DM15851-76. This clamps on to the trailer frame at the tongue giving you space for the hitch mounted carrier in the back. If not,…
