So glad you all at SuperSteer make products for our family owned 1996 P32, that has been in the family since new.. At this point we have almost every suspension upgraded from your catalog our our rig. And, what a handling transformation it has been. Attended Quartzsite this year, on Jan 22nd. Stopped by your booth, and spoke with one of your people. Gave him our feedback and praise for your products, and the suspensions handling transformation. Also thanked him and SiuperSteer for still making parts for these now vintage rigs. Thank you.

[@SuperSteer]

Thank you so much for the feedback, Dennis! We really appreciate customers like you :)

[@randallthomas2195]

Game Changing Parts.

[@SuperSteer]

You betcha! Thanks for the comment. You rock!

[@MrPenguinLife]

Great video, I own a 2002 P32 chassis Safari Trek, which has a number of your upgraded products, some installed by the previous owner, others I have done in my 7+ years of Trek ownership

[@SuperSteer]

wow,.. that's awesome! Thank you for being the best part of our business. :)

[@levibraun5780]

I put your new bell cranks in my 89 Winnebago super chief and it made a world of a difference!

[@SuperSteer]

Thanks for the feedback! We love improving the steering on those coaches.

[@adammeredith18]

Awesome Video. There is not really a good detailed videos out there that breaks down the P30/P32 suspension possibilities. I have, what used to be a 90 Fleetwood Pace Arrow, but now I've modified the hell out of it. Remodeled the interior to accommodate for cold climates, Refabricated(if that's even a word) the exterior lower half to accommodate for aluminum diamond plate, fresh paint, in the process of adding some electrical goodies, etc... Now I call it a Beastwood 😃 I do need some maintenance on the my already existing, but dated Super Steer products on the front end and MorRyde Shear spring system on the rear. I think I would like to make a trip out to you guys this summer. Thank you for the video. Great job.

[@SuperSteer]

Hey!! Thanks for the comment!! We would love to have you come out and see us! Please keep in mind the Summer is pretty busy so make sure to call at least a month ahead to get a time slot that works for you!

[@lastcenturyclassics]

Thanks for showing how to upgrade the old girls. 😁

[@SuperSteer]

You bet! Those older RVs still have a place on the road!

[@TheTopCat650]

Do you guys still sell the track bar for the rear on a Chevy p30?

[@SuperSteer]

Yes we do! The SS300U is used on coaches with rear disc brakes, and SS301U on coaches with rear drum brakes. For coaches with a tailpipe that exits behind the rear axle, the SS300TP can be used to relocate the exhaust to exit in front of the rear axle.

[@dennisgardiner43]

Have the SS300U on our P32 and it makes a big difference in controllability with side winds.

[@sebastiant5695]

Nice lots of cool products I have the Track Bar and the SumoSprings. Improved side wind stability and sway. Have you looked into evaluation the LML Duramax Hydroboost upgrade? Reads like it's an almost perfect bolt into the P30 and improves braking feel and performance.

[@SuperSteer]

Thanks for the comment! We have heard about people doing this and driven a customer's coach with the different Hydroboost installed. Braking did feel better, since we haven't done the install we can't vouch for how simple the install is. Brakes are definitely a weak area on this chassis!

[@sebastiant5695]

@@SuperSteer GM Genuine Parts 178-1036 just need to remove the firewall plate which it ships with and fabricate a sleeve for the pushrod hole. Would be great if you as professional company could look into how practical this conversion is. The reman parts for the brake boosters are getting rare and difficult to source for the p30. The LML booster is a new part and better.

[@matkagleba]

Hi. I have 1997 winnebago on P30 chassis. Driving about 50 to 60 miles/h it start to shake a lot wheel are just balanced but no improvement at all. Any advice ?

[@SuperSteer]

Good question! There could be a few factors involved. Have you ever had your coach aligned? Sometimes alignment issues can cause a caster shimmy. I would also recommend checking your front tires and wheels for roundness, as they may be balanced but out of round which will also cause a shake.

[@Jean-PaulSoares-tx6xi]

How do I purchase the front suspension upgrades? My bags have holes and I like your ideas. Thanks, JP

[@SuperSteer]

Good question! Give us a call. We can help you get the right products to fit your situation! 888-898-3281

[@jeffgrzybowski5322]

Have a 2001 (according to VIN) and a 2002 (according to Fleetwood) Fiesta. Just purchased silver safe T Plus stabilizer for the tie rod bar. The vehicle also has the steering damper attached to the pitman arm and frame. What safe t plus damper would i use for a replacement? This is what you called a second steering stabilizer, i believe. And when discussing the bell crank, you mentioned adjusting for play. So is bell crank adjustable and is there a video for this?

[@SuperSteer]

Wow! Great questions. I suggest you call and speak to either John or Tommy. They can help you! 888-898-3281

[@jeffgrzybowski5322]

@SuperSteer , I called. I'm going to use a Monroe replacement or Bilstein. And bell cranks are sealed. The addition of safetplus has made incredibly better for play in steering, btw

[@nortonracing2474]

I just purchased a 1987 Coachmen P30 RV and driving it home I noticed a Lot of play in the steering. What would you suggest I do to resolve this? Also, I don't see any comments (and you didn't mention in your video) about solutions for suspension performance for anything earlier than the late 90's. Do you offer anything for older RV's? I would like to fix this RV up to ride better, but also don't want to put more money into it than I paid for it. Note: It does have the "Ride Right" system installed. Can you advise me on what I can do that's not going to break the bank? I don't plan to take this on any cross country trips (though I would like to be able to if the occasion arises), I'll mostly be taking it to local drag strips (towing my race car).

[@SuperSteer]

Thanks for your question! We can provide updates on the earlier P30 chassis including yours. The first thing we would recommend is that you have a thorough inspection done on the front steering and suspension components. There are quite a few components which could be loose, so it is difficult to say what exactly you would need without an inspection. Once you take care of anything loose, we do have upgrades available such as our Rear Trac Bar, Koni FSD Shocks, Roadmaster Front Sway Bar, and Safe T Plus Steering Stabilizer. If you'd like, you can email [e-mail] for more info, or call 888-898-3281 Monday - Friday between 7 am and 4 pm Pacific time.

[@mecharreziahapao2012]

We have a 1981 Itasca Motorhome and its chevy P30. Now our rear hub needs new one because it is totally destroyed and we can't find any hub for it. What we gonna do? Appreciate your response

[@SuperSteer]

This would be a great question for Robert Henderson. Give him a call at the shop. 541-326-4033

[@ryanperry29]

Looks like I'm going to be replacing the flex plate on my Chieftain 22 soon as it is missing some teeth... Any videos on the process?

[@SuperSteer]

Hi Ryan, we specialize in steering and suspension upgrades, so engine/transmission work is not something we typically do. We do not have any videos of this process.

[@MattBlomster]

What shocks for a 1989 P30 super chief?

[@SuperSteer]

Thanks for asking! We've had very good results with the Koni FSD 8805-1006 (front) and 8805-1007 (rear) for the P30/P32 chassis.
