Air (bag) suspension. A worthwhile addition?

[grnordstrom]

Hello,

I have an A diesel now but I am downsizing (1st Mate won't drive it). I'm going to purchase a "C" probably in the next few months. I've noticed that no "C"  manufacture has air bags as an option. I realize that it's only a secondary assist (springs do the work) but does it help the ride or the handling? The manufacturers obviously don't think so.  So, what do the real world folks, you guys, think?

Thanks,

Ray

Super "C" or regular gas?  Check out Renegade, Ikoni or Newmar.

Probably a "C" on a MB chassis.

gr, I don't know if they use the Liquid Spring on a class C.  It is on class A, gas.

It helps with side to side sway. On ours it did make you feel more road defects throughout the interior.

Yes, Liquid Spring suspensions were developed for ambulances, so it is available for Class C motorhomes.
