UPDATE - just drove 625 miles over 2 days to NC from Fl for a month. Added the Roadmaster front steering stabilizer (true center) and adjusted the air bags on the passenger side to 65 PSI since the last post. I believe we are "there". MH handled great, and was not pushed around by the semi trucks. The only "butt-puckering" moment was my fault, as I let the MH get up over 70mph going down a big incline, and the MH let me know. I was able to set the cruise on 65, 3 mph higher than before, and felt very comfortable driving. So my thoughts:
1. The modifications I've done have helped tremendously, and were the right thing to do.
2. The modifications don't really fix the problem, (too short a wheelbase, too light a coach for it's size) but they make it livable.
3. Cross winds of more than 15 mph are going to give me issues no matter what modifications I make.
4. It's now up to me to drive the Mh correctly, IOW keep the speed to 62-65mph and no more.
So thanks again to everyone who made suggestions and helped out. Now it's time for an adult beverage.....
