Traveled from Florida to California in my class A 1996 Fleetwood. Highway 10 through Texas almost beat us to death. (50% bad road & 50% bad shocks} Had new shocks installed in California. Mechanic said "You might want to do something about these springs, when you get back." I had a look. The leaf springs were flat. Got back to Florida and called a spring shop recommended by everyone. They only do springs. I told him about my motorhome. He said P30 chassis, workhorse. I made an appointment and drove to their shop. There were several large trucks outside and in the stalls. My new springs laying on the ground. There were 4 men, all about 45 50 years old. They started laughing. One man said "Charlie slid under there." The man looked at me and said "Charlies belly didn't touch so you don't need springs. I expected to see a motorhome almost dragging the ground in the back" "Charlie yelled "Springs are good." I said "The springs are flat." He assured me that the springs were just fine. I felt compelled to do something, so I put air bags on the springs front and back.
