Motion sick while parked?

You may inadvertently have linked two unrelated events. I might ascribe your urpy stomach to something you ate earilier rather than walking thru the RT. I might also ascribe the queasy to some possible smell in the RT. Did you experience any headache? Did you open the refrigerator and smell anything "off"? Once, before vacating an apartment I turned the frig off but left green peppers inside and when I went to clean the frig a couple days later I almost threw up from the gas given off by the peppers, altho I couldnt actually smell anything rotting.

Carbon monoxide?

If you haven't gotten motion sickness in other vehicles or RVs, then I agree that it might not have been motion sickness. What were your symptoms? Dizziness could be many other things - even something as simple as slight dehydration. Stomach could be something you ate as drsolo mentioned, and so on.

How long were you in the van? If you were only in it for 1/2 hour or so, then I can't imagine you'd have motion sickness so bad it lasted for hours afterwards. Unless you have an inner ear infection, etc., that's throwing off your equilibrium.

Ooh, yeah. Were any appliances turned on during your visit? Maybe a call to the dealership to have it checked would be a good idea.

Low tire pressure and shocks probably. Could be springs too.

Thank you all for your responses.....
I didn't eat any thing bad, nor did I have any ear infection or headache.
Nothing was on in the rig....it just rocked a LOT when we moved around. But there was that smell like formaldahyde, though it's 11 years old...that may also have affected me. All good thoughts!
I do agree that it must be what trop-a-cal said....
But I am glad to know that it's not normal in these size rigs, and that it's something that we can take care of.
Thanks again for all your help! If we get it, I'm sure we'll be asking more questions in the near future. :)

My '95 doesn't rock at all when it is stopped. The springs & shocks are fairly stiff.

interesting- if that is a concern then even the night breeze may bother you.

I would think that a set of jacks to lightly support/ steady the chassis would be your fix.

add 15 minutes to set-up...get jacks which you can crank up/down with a socket on your makita

My Tiger doesn't rock, either. Keep looking.

Our '05 RT 210 (original shocks) is rock steady - parked, parked in a stiff breeze, or underway.
