Even the best drivers need help

Hellwig is the most recognized name
in helper springs. Few Class C competitors
equip their motorhomes with them. 1
Fluctuating loads impact alignment, reduce traction and
diminish handling. Hellwig helper springs correct this,
compressing under loads to level out your RV.
Put a little extra spring in your drive.
Jayco equips Class C models with Hellwig helper springs. These springs work
with the chassis’ existing springs to give the RV more support, improving
sway control under heavy loads. And when your gross vehicle weight rating
changes, these Load Pro springs self regulate, making them easier to maintain
than a manual airbag suspension system.

Rubber mounts 1 allow for movement, enabling
suspension parts to move fluidly over bumps.
Take the bounce out of the road.
Select Jayco Class C motorhomes are equipped with a total of four rubber
isolation mounts positioned near the tires. These mounts, only available on
Jayco Class Cs, create an interface between metal components, helping
minimize vibration throughout your Jayco motorhome.

The Bilstein piston has 228% larger surface area than
conventional twin-tube pistons, offering greater control
for the ultimate in handling.
Bilstein shock absorbers 1 feature a unique monotube
gas-pressure design. Unlike twin-tube designs, Bilstein’s
single tube won’t trap heat, decreasing shock failure.
Now, this is a ride you can handle.
You won’t find these high-end shock absorbers on any other Class C.
Featuring a unique piston system, Bilstein shocks reduce bouncing on
uneven roads and eliminate excessive sway when cornering. On Precept’s
Class A Ford F53 chassis, Bilstein shocks are standard equipment for an
extraordinary ride.

A smooth ride is our standard.
A standard feature on the Ford F53 chassis, front and rear variable-rate
jounce bumpers are positioned under the frame to absorb vibration. These
bumpers compliment the Bilstein shock absorbers, dual stabilizer bars and
standard multi-leaf spring system, completing Precept’s smooth ride.

A sway bar 1 keeps the RV flatter in turns by transferring
the pressure on the outboard wheel and applying it to the
inboard tire, distributing the weight more evenly on all four
wheels for a road-hugging ride.
A sway bar also eliminates excessive sway on bumpy roads,
raising and lowering each side of the unit to similar heights. 1
Setting the bar in handling.
Unlike other Class Cs, Jayco adds a sway bar. Connecting opposite wheels
together, a sway bar raises and lowers each side of the unit to similar
heights, reducing sideways tilting when cornering. On Precept, we added a
second stabilizing bar to the Ford F53 chassis. Other Class As are equipped
with just one bar.

Welded-on weights help balance the driveshaft. 1
A well-balanced drive starts with Jayco.
Every Jayco motorhome driveshaft is balanced. This extra step,
overlooked by many competitors, ensures the driveshaft is properly
tuned to reduce shudder and vibrations, while ensuring power is
efficiently transmitted to the wheels.
