Can anyone point me to a resource, or to the type of "shops" I'd have to go to to upgrade the suspension systems?

I'm an engineer by profession, so I should be able to understand the issues involved IF someone can point me to the right resource.

BTW, I do know that my dually is overkill, but 1) I bought it with upgrading the RV in mind (bigger and heavier) and 2) you can't beat the stability and feeling of safety with it.

Thanks all
As an engineer you should realize that no matter what you do to a truck and trailer you can never match the ride of a big class A. The heavy, long wheel base, large heavy tires and typical air ride suspension of basically a bus.

My post on the airline and hotel was tongue in cheek but here's the truth in it. You can fly there, stay in a nice hotel for a week, and possibly not exceed a month or two's payment on a "nice" class A.

If you want to stay in your camper than what I would suggest beyond the advice given here, is to talk with folks at the campground there and ask what they have done, what's helped, and what was a waste of money. They have traveled over the same road to get there and relate what they're experiences were. Seeing a hitch and how it's made, seeing what they have done might give you some good insights.

Good luck in your quest.
