23 year old HR Navigator with factory airbag/Bilstein shock suspension. Rides better than a school transit bus and, in my opinion, Prevost Greyhounds. No reason to upgrade but might be replacing all shocks as part of maintenance best practices. After all, nothing lasts forever, right?

Nope, other than normal service and parts replacement when they wear out...16 years, 100,000+ miles on the clock and counting...

1999 34 foot Georgie Boy Cruisemaster with about 19000 miles. Drives like it should since I put new tires all the way around.

Umm I think dp's add steering stabilizers but I am not a dp pro so I am guessing it would be nice to know but I did not intend to limit this just to Gas motorhomes. Who know someday I may go up to or is it down to a dp. Lol

Huh?

Our coach has a very heavy duty suspension that is unique to the brand, no upgrades were needed.
The only weak component I've found is the steering box.. and when I have to address that, I may upgrade to a TRW unit.

04 Dolphin on Workhorse w22 chassis. New tires & brake pads at 36k tune up at 45k & now has 50k .

No widgets or such bolted to the rig. Say it isn't so? Would that be rig neglect?

FWIW I would bet most owners do not mess with their suspensions.

E450 - been meaning to get the front end aligned. ;-)

No mods on my 2017 Thor Hurricane 34J on a Ford chassis. We are a little over 35' long. I have put 15000 miles since June 2016. First year we put over 12000 miles and loved every minute. A farm accident shut down any travels since last August. I am ready to travel now! We had a 33' Vectra on a Chevrolet P30 chassis, being a Chevy man I hate to admit it, the Ford is the better handling hands down. I have read about the "cheap handling fix", but I see no need to do it.
I wish all, safe and happy travels!

2016-36ft Winnebago Class A gasser. Added no upgrade and drives like a dream. Had MINOR issues driving across windy open Nebraska plains. Talked to other at CG and they said they all had issues with with constant adjustments. This included Class A, C and DP’s. I think Ford is a great chassis save your money like me and get a TPMS!

2018 Newmar Bay Star 35' on a 24K chassis. So far roughly 4000 miles of us driving in four months, including a trip back from delivery in Florida and another roundtrip from Virginia to Florida. It seems like every planned driving day was windy! No modifications made, and no modifications planned at this point.
