iRV2 Forums - More blogs to come

I have worked in the automotive service business most of my life. RV's are somewhat new to me, but there are many similarities with them and their cousins... cars and trucks.

In the following blogs I will attempt to describe repairs and maintenance in terms that everyone can understand.

Thanks for reading my blog!

The thicker the sway bar, the less amount of twist is generated. This system works well if everything is within design tolerances.
