RPA® (Road Performance Assessment)
Fifteen miles & 50 points that assure you “better than new” motorhome performance
The RPA® analysis painstakingly pinpoints the good, the bad, & the ugly - everything that’s right — plus the problems and safety hazards in your Motorhome or 5th Wheel.
Because motorhomes, trailers,
trucks, and automobiles have dif-
ferent wheelbases, overhangs, and uni-
que load distributions, we know we
must treat each vehicle individually.
To insure you really do receive expert service, your RPA® Center performs a registered diagnostic RPA® (Road Performance Assessment) on your vehicle. You get a three-phase analysis of: Discovery, Diagnosis & Delivery. Your RPA® covers every point that can affect the performance of your Coach or 5th Wheel.
1. Identify problems in an extensive road test. In this $150 assessment, you and your ASE-Certified technician run your rig through a full 15-mile drive over specially selected routes that incorporate virtually all the road hazards you’ll run into.
He checks for improper weight load, ride height and weak springs. He examines both your wheel assemblies and tires for proper pressure and excessive wear.
2. Under the chassis, your technician inspects 50-plus points, which include such items as defective or worn tie rods, king pins, ball joints, control arm shafts, bushings, idler & pitman arms, & shock absorbers. Every part that directly affects your vehicle’s performance.
3. You get a complete diagnosis of any problems your vehicle has.
4. You get the exact solutions to fix them.
Why perform such an exhaustive analysis? Through the years, from the beginning servicing motorhomes & 5th Wheels in 1989, Henderson’s Line-Up learned a key principle, “You must treat the suspension as a system.” So, we do.
How every RPA® Center performs your RPA® (Road Performance Assessment):

The technician fills out a question and answer Pre-Inspection Form with you. Most importantly, he listens to you because you know your vehicle and have valuable insights and information to share.
Then, your technician drives your rig, duplicates all possible problem symptoms on a torturous 15-mile road test, and evaluates the performance. This road test includes highway driving, curvy roads, ruts, uneven pavement, sharp turns . . . to see and hear all the problems that drive you nuts and put you and your family in danger.
The technician weighs all four corners of your vehicle, as well as the front and back, to check for imbalance.
He invites you to view as he inspects more than 50 different points beneath your rig.
You receive a complete RPA® Assessment on paper and an ex-
planation of the problems and solutions needed to correct them. Then, you decide what work is to be done.The technician completes the repairs, steering and suspension enhancements you want.
Then, the technician re-drives the same 15-mile test route so you can see how the work improves your vehicle.
If any further adjustments are needed, he corrects them on the spot.
Finally, you personally drive your own vehicle over the route to verify your work is done right. Nothing is more convincing of quality work than for you to feel and hear “better-than-new” performance over the same bumps, curves, and ruts.
You experience something amazing after an RPA®. When corrections are made, all the frustrating malfunctions that drive you crazy . . . just disappear.
