RE: Monaco 8 air bags
I too have had both, a Roadmaster chassis with 8 outboard bags, and a Spartan with 4 bags. No question, the 8 bag chassis will corner somewhat better. However, that design has a VERY large amount of unsprung weight in the suspension system, and in addition we found the chassis to be a much firmer ride than the 4 bag chassis. As far as wind goes, logic seems to imply that the 8 airbag system would do better in the wind, but the 2 Spartan chassis we've had have been the best chassis we have ever had with regard to handling in high winds.
So--- my bottom line is, only YOU can decide which you like better. Find a motorhome you like regarding features, floorplans etc., and drive it yourself and see which one suits you better.

RE: Location of dump valve on spartan MM chassis
The best thing to do is call Spartan Chassis and ask them. They'll be able to give you all the info and help you need. They have a complete record of everything in your specific motorhome chassis. I have found them to be most helpful whenever I call them for info.

RE: Sunova 30A
I just saw an ad for Winnebago that set the Sunova and the Sightseer were the two comparable models. I believe the Sunova 30A is the 30' version of the Winnegabo 30' Sightseer motorhome. It is not at all clear to me, though, what the difference is between the Sightseer and the Vista is.

RE: Highway onramp protocol
Yup, you have the right of way traveling along the highway. In reality though, the way the vast majority of folks drive, it is my observation that the person who "takes" the right of way is the person entering the highway on the entry ramp. I have found that I just give in. It violates my "principles", but provides a much less stressful ride.
