Itasca Class C Overhang Movement
I'm new to class c's and noticed my 2000 Itasca has some movement in the overhang while driving down the road. On the highway it's not noticeable but on side roads I can see the front flexing. Is that...

With very rare exception, over-hangs will flop around. Bigger over-hangs will flop more. How much depends on the engineering, design, and quality of construction. Generally, the more rough-road driving you do, the more wear and tear occurs, increasing the amount of movement.
When shopping for a class-C, I recommend either a B+ which are seamless and with no over-hang, or a seamless class C cab-over design. A class-C compromise is a partial bucket design. It's a matter wear and tear plus age before caulked seam work will breach and water will find it's way inside staining your ceiling at first, then getting worse if neglected. Fortunately our highway system is better maintained than years ago. A stiff suspension makes for a rougher ride which will work against you.
