- garyemunsonExplorer IIHave you actually gone under the motorhome and put your eyeballs on the rear sway bar? There was a recall on them for rear sway bar straps that were not torqued and would fall off (mine did!).
- DFordExplorerBEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE TRY THIS!!!!
It's called the CHEAP HANDLING FIX or CHF for the Ford Chassis. All it requires is moving the sway bar links closer to the axle. Look at the existing link connection. The factory uses the outer holes farthest from the axle. Just move them to the inner set of holes. You should also change the bushing that hold the sway bar to urethane because the sway bar is going to being a lot more work after this change.
When I bought our present MH, it felt top heavy. I tried the CHF and I couldn't believe the difference it made. Some will say you need to replace the links with adjustable or longer links. I bought a set for the front and by the time I finished adjusting them, they were the same length as the originals. - Tyler0215ExplorerOverloaded, bad shocks, bad tires, bad springs. Could be anything.
Weigh it loaded and ready to go. Then go to a truck shop and have it checked out. - vjstangeloExplorerMy 32ft Winnebago Vista did the same until I performed the Cheap Handling Fix (google it). Note I only did the rear sway bar, not the front.
No more rocking. This only applies to the F53 Ford chassis. - wolfe10ExplorerYou need to crawl under and see if there are any worn parts. Look closely at sway bar bushings. Polyurethane bushings will stiffen up the sway control at very reasonable price and the labor is easy.
- plattpd60ExplorerNo tires and all that are all fine I was reading maybe the rear or front sway bars would fix this
- TCollinsExplorerAre you maintaining proper tire pressure? I test drove a 30' class a that was rockin and rollin the whole time. When I got it back to the owner we found one of the inside duals was all but flat.
- plattpd60ExplorerWhen I got home from a 14-hour trip and sat in the chair it felt like I just got off a boat I was still rocking
- plattpd60ExplorerIt has happened on all roads ever since I got it brand new it just seems like it's way top heavy and needs something to keep it from rocking excessively when driving down the road and when you go around corners it really tips
- wallynmExplorerHow long have you had this motor home. Has it gotten worse as it ages? Does it happen on all roads?
