Driving Class A

Recently bought a Class A Winnebago Tribute (2015) after owning a travel trailer.

Driving has not been as "relaxed" as I had expected. Perhaps I had unrealistic expectations or perhaps I am still getting used to it. But, I felt more comfortable driving at high speed with my travel trailer than I do with the motorhome, especially in the mountains.

Feels like some drift and going around corners the sensation of tipping over.

Is this normal, or should I expect better and have it checked out?

  • 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!
  • As ski said check the front end and sway bars. Then get some miles under your belt. Sitting higher exaggerates the turns. (One reason I don’t have an A)
  • I had the same problem. Found out that my front and rear antisway bars were missing rubber bushings.
