Question Bounder chassis

[Debbiejaeger]

I have a 2019 Bounder 33c and have had nothing but problems since I bought it new. It has been a terrible ride since new and the dealer has not been much help. I installed sumo shocks which helped a little and just replaced all the tires for a small fortune and they did not help with the rough ride. Wondering if anyone else had this problem with the Fleetwood class A’s Ford chassis. Any suggestions?

Anything on an F53 chassis is going to ride like a school bus following a cattle drive. First check your traveling weight and adjust your tire psi to that prescribed in your tire mfg's load inflation table, most MH/RV'ers are driving around with more air in the tires ( harder tires) than is necessary. Like you I found the Sumo's didn't do anything but cost money and take up space. I softened my ride some with air bags. If you're willing to get a 2nd. mortgage you can have "Liquid Springs" installed.
At the end of the day and regardless how much money you throw at it however, it's still not going to ride like a DP.

Not long after we bought our F53 Bounder 34J and after a few very long days behind the wheel. It was absolutly exhausting trying to keep it between the lines! I found Hendersons Grants Pass RV and Auto Repair - Henderson's Line-Up Brake & RV Inc.. Not cheap, but it made a big difference. To me, it was worth the cost. Longs days behind the wheel were much more tolerable. We kept that Bounder 15 years.

What did they do?

Sumo springs, upgraded shocks, struts, sway bars and steering stabilizer.
