F-53 Motorhome Leaf Springs: Complete Replacement Guide & Warning Signs to Watch

My F-53 motorhome still bounces like a trampoline over every bump despite replacing the shocks, checking alignment, and rebalancing the tires. I have a 1995 F-53 motorhome that's been in Arizona its whole life, so thankfully no rust issues.

I keep seeing posts about people replacing leaf springs on much newer rigs, and it's got me wondering if I should be doing the same. My coach is 30 years old now, but honestly I don't see any obvious sagging and the springs look okay to my untrained eye. I do have some worn bushings that I'm planning to replace.

What are the actual warning signs that leaf springs need to be completely replaced? Am I missing something obvious, or could my old Arizona springs actually still be fine? I don't want to spend money I don't need to, but I also don't want to ignore something important for safety. …more

Also concerned there might be other worn components contributing to the problem that I should have checked. …more

Hankook vs Firestone RV Tires: Real Owner Experiences

During my last tire replacement, I went with Firestone again because that's what I knew. Checked the tread depth religiously, maintained proper pressure with my gauge, rotated them according to schedule — but I'm starting to wonder if there are better options out there. Keep seeing Hankook tires mentioned in forums and they seem to be gaining popularity with RV owners. My Firestones have served me well enough, but before my next replacement cycle I want to explore all the options. Looking for honest feedback from anyone who has actually run Hankook tires on their motorhome and can share how they compare in terms of longevity, ride quality, and overall performance. …more
