RE: WiFi Booster
We have two AT&T 5G phones with unlimited data. We installed a WeBoost signal boost Antenna on the Class C to make sure we always get a strong signal and we use our phones as HotSpots. We csn do all the web surfing and TV streaming we want. Haven't run into issues anywhere and it is great when boondocking.

RE: Generators: Cummins 4500 vs Westinghouse vs. ?????
I got the Westinghouse two years ago on a smokin sale for $599. It has been a fantastic genset. Love starting it in the evening, crawling in bed, watching TV or a DVD...... picking up the little remote and turning it off and going to sleep. My SIL and my brother have the Cumins and all three are identical.

RE: Hellwig Sway Bars on 2021 24-footer
I did the same on my 27 ft class C and was towing a car. To help even more I added the rear trac bar from Helwig.The two sway bars helped a LOT but that trac bar made the rig drive straight and true.
Track Bar? What is that?

Hellwig Sway Bars on 2021 24-footer
About 6 months ago, my 30 year old son called me, telling the story of driving the "new to them", 31' Class C that they had just purchased, from the Dallas area to outside of Houston. They got a really good buy on a 'garage-kept', 20 year old with the Ford V10. Anyway, he said the camper was all over the road and really difficult to drive.
He did some research and decided to add heavy duty sway bars. Hellwig was the company he purchased from and once arriving, he installed and reported that it was a HUGE improvement, improving the driving so much that his wife enjoys driving the motorhome.
Fast forward to a week ago, when the wife and I drove a 2021 24' Golf Stream Conquest off the lot for the 100 mile drive home. While the driving experience wasn't horrible, I hated how the front end kept trying to find itself. It was 24 short hours before I punched in the credit card number for a set of Hellwigs myself. For my E350, it was about $700.... and after the first test drive, likely to be the best money I will ever spent on this Class C. Even on rough, ground-heave roads of western Colorado, the chasis is solid and firmly planted.
Check out.... how much thicker and heavier the Hellwig's are as opposed to Ford OEM ****.
By the way, I did the whole job myself. The front took about an hour and the rear took about 2 hours. They only way I did it myself was with the help of zip ties I could snip off after I attached the bolts. It would be really handy, if you tackle this job to have a second set of hands.

RE: We've had 8 years and 68,000 trouble free miles...
One week ago we purchased a 2021 Gulf Stream Conquest 6237LE, also a 24 foot Class C and plan to have it for the next decade, maybe longer. Man do we love it! We plan to use it a lot, including a 26 mile drive to the closest Sam's Club for monthly grocery shopping. And if the wife wants to shop... In the Class C we will go. I'll nap in the parking lot with the genset and A/C blowing.
Like others we wanted something 24' or less for ease of driving and navigation of cities and National/State Parks.
We also have the Ford and LOVE the new 7.3L V8. If I drive it nice, we are getting between 12-14 mpg.
Right away, I invest in some better sway bars and it is a HUGE improvement in handling. We will be pulling a 14' Cargo Trailer a lot, with motorcycles, bicycles and kayaks.... so am pleased we have that big V8, to pull the high mountain passes in Colorado.

RE: Chevy V8 vs Ford V 10
I'm an owner of the new Ford 7.3L V8 Gasser. It is in a Gulf Stream Conquest 6237LE, a little 24' Class C. Ever since we started shopping for a Class C about a year ago, I was infatuated with the new Ford V8 and wouldn't even consider anything else. After having owned it for a week now, I can report with complete satisfaction..... that engine is incredible. Zero to 60, it is nearly as fast as our FJ Cruiser and the mpg on the first 100 miles was an incredible 13.6.
Over Labor Day weekend, we will be pulling a 14' cargo trailer with motorcycles and kayaks in mountainous Colorado and I have no doubt it will do it with little effort.
