Description
I was looking for a small RV with sleeping for 2 and a full bath. I also wanted to be able to drive the RV as my primary transportation in lieu of flat towing my Jeep. I did not want the large bed over cab design and I wanted an aerodynamic appearance. The BT 5240 fit those requirements and gave me the option to flat tow my JKU Wrangler. Something a Class B, such as a Roadtrek Zion cannot handle. I am not knocking the Roadtrek; I nearly purchased one.
I purchased this unit new and found it handled poorly towing my Jeep Wrangler. I researched suspension upgrades thinking thicker sway bar, etc. I found a company called Weldtecdesigns in San Diego, California. I watched several videos and was convinced the upgrade was worth the cost. It satisfied both my handling needs and the common low clearance found on Class C RV's. This is a complete suspension upgrade with coil springs and a new leaf spring package that was custom made based on the actual weight of this unit. I found NBD Motorsports in Virginia Beach, VA to do the installations. NBD is a Veteran owned shop.

Reason for sale is a personal loss. No longer have plans to travel.
If you are wondering why a 6" lift then I sincerely suggest you test drive a Class C and drive it like you would a car. Pull into gas stations, shopping centers etc and tell me they do not drag. These units sit so low you're guaranteed to drag and possibly damage the gray and black tank valves.
I will submit additional photos in the next few days. The current photos are with the slide out in. That said, you can see that there is plenty of room to reach the kitchen, fridge and bathroom with the slide out in. That is a plus when stopping at rest stop for a quick nap, bathroom break or snack.
Thank you for looking.
