Looking at an XLII -- need advice

Great Sky, let us know what you find out with the '01 H3 Vantare.

I'm with you on the ride and handling. I've never driven an Eagle but the torsilastic suspension has become a cult status online. Funny thing, all these Eagle owners are adding air bags to their torsilastics. Turns out keeping the bogie/tag axle supporting it's share of weight is much easier if the axle is converted to air. A simple air regulator does the trick. Also, in motorhome applications folks like the constant ride height of air and the air leveling at campgrounds. Prevost tries hard with their air suspensions. On my bus each air spring has it's own ping tank located inches away from the spring and connected to the spring with a wide diameter short length hose. The ping tank shifts the resonant frequency of the suspension and alters the damping. I don't know if this makes it as good as torsilastics but for better or worse air springs have become the industry standard.
