I have a 2000 Fleetwood Bounder on a Ford F53 chassis; I had a similar problem; went through a Ford truck center to diagnose the problem and found no problems with the suspension. Cheched tires and alignment. Inspected everything that could be checked ... nothing. I took the moterhome to an RV repair shop and they found a broken /corroded support bracket/brace between the chassis and the lower support member of the dashboard. Poor materials selection and poor design of the structure supporting the dashboard. There are 2 support brackets; 1 on passenger side and one on drivers side ..try inspecting these brackets for corrosion and/or broken welds. My steering column actually has slight movement and the seat of the pants feels like the drivers seat has slight movement.
