Hello,I am a new owner of a 2013 Sightseer. I love the RV but I want to improve its road handling. My main problems have to do with steering and handling. On a long drive I have to constantly make minor corrections in steering and when a big rig passes me I get buffeted by its bow wave. I have read about putting in steering dampers and/or track bars. Honestly I am confused as to what I should do to improve the road manners of my rig. I would appreciate any advice you all may have to help me make handling/steering improvements to my rig.Thank you.:?

Look up the CHF. This is where you change the position of the swaybar bolts. Best thing you can do and its free.

Also, weigh your coach and set your psi accordingly. I could not believe the improvement in handling and ride just by doing those 2 free things.

First and cheapest. Check you tire pressures, especially the front. At a minimum, go with the recommended inflation on the Winnebago label located near the drivers position, don't go with the maximum inflation stamped on the sidewall of the tire. When our front tires are inflated to the side wall pressure (80psi for our c-class) we have the same handling problems that you describe. Putting pressure at the recommended pressure dramatically improved the handling. Ideally you should weigh your vehicle and follow the Load and inflation tableBeverley and Ken

After checking tire pressures, go get a front end alignment. All 5 of my coaches were out of alignment. Do this first before spending any money for add ons.
