Hi, what did that cost?

I did the install myself so it was just the cost of the parts. I don’t remember exactly but it was a little over a $1,000. The power saver model AC is a little more expensive compared to a standard 13.5k unit.

So how does the redhawk drive?. Do i need to spend money on aftermarket modifications?

You'll get various responses from it drives great to it's garbage. I think if you drive in calm winds, not towing and keep it under 60 MPH, you'll probably be fairly happy with it.

I'm in exactly the opposite situation so I added a lot of suspension upgrades, but I'm really happy with how it drives now.

What brand tires did you get from Jayco? Mine just came with Hankooks.

Michelin

If the front end caster is set to the Ford default of +3.5 degrees it may wander at highway speeds. The simple fix is to get an alignment where the caster is set some where between the +5 to +6 degrees range. The Ford specification is from +1.5 to + 7.0 degrees.

Just bought the 22c and the dealer installed the filter. He mentioned he pulled out the drawer under the bedroom closet to get to it and it was a pain in the rear...

Hello all, just signed up after reading for a while. As I mentioned I bought a 22c couple months ago and getting ready to roll to my next travel contract. First RV ever...I used it a couple times at home and noticed how weird it handled through some mountain area but then what do I know, never drove anything larger than a Ford Aerostar back in the days lol...I'm also a bit worried about slide failure...read some posts here, especially when boondocking in the middle of nowhere...will play it safe for now and stay among people even when after a 12 hour shift the least I want to see is other human beings lol...thanks for letting me join!!

I have 2019 22c Redhawk and the water filter was mounted in the closet, had to take a drawer out to get to it, had the dealer take it out and will use a filter on the freshwater hose. The maintenance guy said a lot of people were doing it because it is such a pain to get to.

You may want to look there. That's where our 2021 Red Hawk 24B filter is.

Here is a video about lubricating the slide. YouTube is a good resource.

Handling? Search here for swaybars etc.
