Just purchased my first D.P. 2008 fleetwood expedition,36'.I think I may have a problem when stopping.in the sence that the frt. end seems to dip down quite abit. When I release the brakes the frt end comes up again.I called freightliner chassis & the guy told me to have the leveling hight checked.
I said to him that the shocks maybe the cause he didn't agree. it only has 10,000 miles. My ? is ,is this normal for theses diesels.???????????????

Sounds like shocks to me.. but then I don't know your chassis.

Question. When you hit a bump in the road (Or a speed bump) is it "Bump" and done

Or is it "Bump - BOUNCE BOUNCe BOUNce BOUnce BOunce Bounce bounce done?

The second case is bad shocks,, diagnostic in fact. (Bit extreme though)

I would say it's normal, on most DP when stoping you will fell the front nose dip down because of the air ride.
