Had the same results moving from a 5th wheel to a Class A, Found it handled a lot better if I just slowed down, just because limit is 70-75 doesn't mean I have to drive that fast. Found best handling at 62. Also google CHF for class A, it made a difference on mine. Sum it up I found I had to much Type A for my Class A. required attitude adjustment. Good Luck!

Agree with slowing down. I mean the speed limit is the same for Lamborghini's and Ferrari's, so there's gotta be something wrong with this picture, somewhere.
For correcting such, I'd say to personally lower your speed limit, when driving a Motel, rather than speed up with your sports car.

That's why my 9350 lb class 3 (really a class 4) truck only pulls a 12k lbs fiver.

I had considered a class A, but I was worried that my kids would be strapped down only by a lap belt onto a couch. And there are no air bags or any other safety systems.

At least my truck has lap/shoulder belts all around, air bags all around, and the truck is built to some safety standards.

As a daily driver the safety stuff is fine, but all that safety gear is not going to do much when that 12,000 lb missile collapses that hitch frame and comes in the cab in a collision. I've had both the dually pulling a 17,400 lb fiver and a Class A, and I wouldn't consider either a safe anything for my kids or spouse in a collision. It would just get ugly fast!
