to be honest here as i critically am , why does the issue that many motorhomes experience across the board , no matter who made the coach , i have spoken to people where the alighnment was dead on perfect, nothing worn, missing , mis adjusted , and the one thing that did actually repair the issue was a rear tack bar.and its pretty much the same issue , driving over speeds of 50 mph, the coach drives like your in a tornado and its all over the road , after the addition of a rear track bar, its perfect ,no change was made to alignment settings , tire pressures, tire change , weight Distibution , this is my point, you people are i do believe not hearing me or im not explaining it , im sorry i even made a question and stated i have 20 years bmw experience, i was ase certified in bmw. bme e/v and bmw m performance , not bragging , just stating that im not green nor an idiot as some may believe, or think,

The Ford F53 chassis is used for a myriad of purposes, one which happens to be a motorhome. I would imagine that driving the chassis alone would be just fine provided you don't mind picking bugs out of your teeth. I am sure that other vehicles built on the chassis have their share of handling issues and mods that are required. It's just a chassis and neither Ford nor Chevy can make engineering allowances for every conceivable configuration that manufacturers decide to bolt on them. The motorhome manufacturers don't do their due diligence to ensure it handles properly when the house is built. Heck, most don't even set psi right. A rear track bar as an example is likely compensating for a poor house design or improper load on the chassis. That's on the manufacture of the house, not Ford. Ford has made improvements to handling in the newer chassis, but gassers in general have always driven poorly. That's why they are at the bottom of the food chain in terms of Class A's. You get what you pay for. A diesel pusher handles exponentially better. It's also exponentially more expensive. If you want the handling of a BMW you wouldn't buy a Yugo. All that said, despite poor handling, there aren't a lot of reports of motorhomes just crashing. I mean you can drive them at normal speeds with the expectations of how a 20k lb house would handle going down the road provided it's set up right to accommodate the house load on the chassis. And that's the key point you seem to be missing. I don't think anyone on here is defending Ford. What you have are logical and reasonable responses to why they handle poorly. But the onus can't be on Ford alone since they have no clue what or how manufacturers will bolt on to them. They build the chassis and I am sure the chassis is just fine when it leaves Ford.
