The truth about RVs
?You?re not going to buy an RV and drive it off the lot and have no hassles? In 2018, Tom and Becky Olesh were living their best lives.

The trailers and camper vans they used to own tended to bounce up and down as they drove, a symptom of their leaf spring suspension systems, which is why they switched to a motorhome. Tom and Becky anticipated suspension that more closely mirrored that of an automobile: some bouncing, but certainly less than their previous units. Instead, they shelled out $2,500 to outfit their new RV with additional suspension.
