Cool video.  Only one foobar.  A C30 chassis is a chevy 1 ton pickup chassis.  The motor home chassis designation is P30 not C30. Actually P32.

Well at least he didn't say C130  :)rotflmao . That's a whole other chassis there and wing span. Great video man.

Very helpfu.   I'll  be doing this to mine in the off season. 

How much better is the ride after the fix.?  I ask because my front bladders are shredded and i thought the ride was beautiful anyways.

The ride is much better, but I also replaced the front shocks at the same time. I can tell a difference just walking around inside the RV, it moves less. I'm running 50psi in the front, and on my test drive I crossed some bridges with bumpy expansion joints that caused some bad bouncing last week. Now I feel like I can safely take it out on our first trip next week.

A little heart pounding excitement when the knuckle let go.

Yeah, I should have had another jack under the lower arm. I was a bit startled!
