Some RVs just ride bad no matter what's pulling them! I had a small hybrid that jerked my Chev dually around.
Between the air bags, the 5th AB hitch and the air adjust Rancho shocks, mine rides really good. Each of those gadgets uses air psi to adjust and I can do the bags and shocks from in the cab and each one REALLY makes a difference. The hitch can be adjusted but I keep it set to the indicator line on the hitch. The mfgr. says it might help to change it a little but I haven't tried it yet. I drilled a cross hole thru the hitch moving parts so I can stick a big pin in it and lock it in a level position so I can use my tripod. I took off one day and forgot to pull the pin out and it rode terrible. I knew in less than a block something was way wrong so I know the hitch helps a lot too. I don't think any one thing is a cure-all unless you get really lucky! Craig
