37f Adventurer & wind

I agree on rear trac bar and the cheap fix of moving the sway bar to the tighter position and also think a steering stabilizer is smart for safety purposes and makes tracking easier. Make sure your tires are inflated consistent with weight. Over inflated is common and can make driving worse. Our motorhomes are sales so some mods can help but not change the fact there is one hell of a lot of resistance. Good luck.

Thanks for the responses, guys. This is our third motorhome. Been driving from Temecula to Redding almost twice a year in them since 1989. Winds thru Tehachapi and 395 have taught me to time the drive for the morning before they really kick up. Have had to slow down at times. I'm finding conditions are considerably different in West Texas areas. Winds seem to gust differently. And it is very unnerving to be trying to drive at 60 mph when truckers can legally blow by at 75-80. Currently holding tight in Albuquerque. Winds have died down to 12 with 20 gusts wnw. Much worse yesterday. Tomorrow projected to be the calmest day of the week and off we will be. Thanks, again!

I own a 35' Adventurer and I'm a retired truckdriver and don't notice the wind that much unless it's really blowing hard. I too have experienced strong winds at the bottom of Tehachapi Pass, Eastside near Edwards AFB when traveling by there. I just slow down a little and keep a firm grip on the wheel.

I just stay off of windy roads :h

I've been driving the SoCal area for over 30 years in motorhomes. Only once, on Pearblosom with a 50 plus mph headwind did I really have a problem with the awning starting to pull. The general rule is just slow down. Sometimes in high winds around Riverside we have had to drop our speed to 40mph to be comfortable, but typically, just slowing down permits you to regain full, comfortable control.

A rear track bar and this FREE handling fix will make a world of difference.

No personal experience with that particular unit, but I believe that coaches like yours with a fairly long rear overhang do frequently exhibit that type of behavior.
