Based on my recent purchase of a new 2015 170a, my only recommendation would be to purchase, as soon as possible, 2 bunk-sized 2" mattress toppers. Makes a huge difference. Also, some kind of...

Getting the Sprinter van to ride better

I've owned a new 2015 Winnebago ERA for 4 months. I drive conservatively under 60mph. The ride on CA freeways is brutal. My wife can't take a nap in back, especially with all the squeaks and...
