mike the bad parts about toterhomes is they ride nice but the trailer gets a rougher ride so it might be wise to find a way to brace up the belair for its ride and not kill the frame and springs , it will change the spring settings from all the jouncing , what we did in SS was block up the chassis and tie it down tight to the trailer so it wouldn't bounce up and down . and you will get used to the up and down motion of the bostrom seat (set it so your knees are bent alittle and drive with your heal ) , just don't get too comfortable to try to drink a cup of Joe while going down the turnpike without a lid ...it gets rather messy .

The trailer will get a different ride than it had behind the Motorhome now?

Probably Mike, but it will be going the same direction, so it should be ok. :lol:
If you think it's exciting now, wait till we start it.

I'm confused. :?

The motorhome had a much harsher suspension than the Dynamax. So what would make it ride any differently than it does now. The Dynamax has a much softer ride, so wouldn't that make the trailer ride smoother also?

the bostrom seats ( the air ride seats) Take the brunt of the shock of the ride out instead of transfering it to your body ( even with the air ride a old spring style seat you would be hurting after a day of driving ) and motorcoaches are setup for the soft ride and based on a 26k max load rating , not for towing like a toterhome ( which is built on a class 5,6,7or 8 truck chassis ( 40-80k gvwr )

I understand the seat thing, it was the trailer part that had me confused.
