First class A, tippy feel when driving
I have had campers for several years. Starting with a bumper pull, and working my way up thru 5th wheels. I now have upgraded to a Class A, and am wondering if there is anything I can do to redu...

This is a good thread. I juts purchased and brought home out first class A. 2012 Forest River Georgetown 350TS on a 2011 F53 chassis. I was reading all about the handling and ride quality of these MH’s. So the first thing I was going to do was the CHF. But when we did our walk though and inspection there was a front sway bar, 4 shocks and bump stops in the basement storage. Come to find out the previous owner installed front and rear Hellwig sway bars, front and rear Sumo springs, Koni shocks and a Blue Ox True Center steering stabilizer! As well as 6 2 year old Michelin’s. So much for upgrading the suspension on my part! LOL
Well the ride home was a handful! The thing was all over the road! It was wandering back and forth, no amount of adjusting the True Center helped. So the only thing left was to check the alignment, which I have read that on these when they are toed out they will do that. So my measurements showed I had 3/8” toe out. I set it to 3/16 toe in. Still need to take it for a ride, but hoping that it takes care of the wander. I’m thinking maybe the previous owner tried everything he could to fix the issue and got tires and traded it in on a DP (at least thats what the dealer said, I do believe him though). Otherwise it rides OK.
