New to Forum
Although I have had my Icon 24D for 1 year, I am just joining this forum. Thought I would share my modifications that I made. I bought and installed the RemisIII accordion front and side cabin window curtains and is a much better solution than the drape covering up the cabin.
I also wanted to improve the highway handling, rocking of coach and crosswind stability. I had installed an additional rear sway bar forward of the axle and HD adjustable rear shocks (ordered from Upscale Auto in Oregon). Front shocks are not yet available. I was impressed with the improvement of all 3 factors and would recommend it. Am considering getting an engine management module to improve mileage (1 mpg better) and power and torque (15-18%). Has anyone installed one to their satisfaction? |

Re: New to Forum
The Remis III can be ordered thru:
https://eurocampers.3dcartstores.com...2011_c_46.html You need to drill a hole in the dash and about 4 into the window frame, but the install went well and not too bad. They are great and opens up the RV inside by not needing a curtain. |

Re: New to Forum
I have no idea what type of air bags I have; my Sprinter is 2008. I can tell you that Winnebago has been installing the Remis in their Sprinter chassis coaches; that is where I 1st saw them as I was shopping for a new RV. They do not displace much space, so I cannot see how they could obstruct the functioning of the air bags.

Re: New to Forum
Im guessing that Winnebago does not have the optional thorax an side-curtain air bags, as it looks to be located in the window frame that the Remis are screwed into. I would love to have the RemisIII
 if possible
