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...

Looking into the OP's issue a little further, it looks like Winnebago didn't have their Super Structure framing design back in year 2000 Itasca Class C motorhomes.
Downloading and comparing both the 2000 and 2005 Spirit brochures using this link, one can see what the Super Structure design did for our 2005 Itasca Class C such that the overhang cannot ever move up/down in relation to the cab due to the metal wall framing that extends all the way out to the ends of the overhang walls. The Spirit brochure for the 2000 Itasca Class C makes no mention of a Super Structure design being used for either the main coach area or the overhang area:

I'd be very surprised if the 2000 Itasca is very much different from a new Spirit as far as the cabover construction. That superstructure design you mentioned, is probably highlighted in the guide (detailing their "superior manufacturing process") they referenced in the last page of the 2000 brochure.
A few years back I bought a 2001 Itasca Sundancer (to fix and sell) and the cabover construction was identical to my 2014 Itasca Spirit.
