Motorhome sway

My 40 Foot Class A after a long sweeping right turn and an immediate left turn at 20 mph almost rolled over. I've made many left turns at a greater speed without that reaction.
  • With the exception of Executive's out of line comment, I fail to see any others that may have ruffled your feathers. For his comment, I apologize, but the rest are just trying to tell you that mh's just aren't built to take this kind of treatment. Slow is the name of the game with them.

  • Crawl underneath and check out your suspension looking for (air bags bleeding across to other side of vehicle or broken parts or bolts broken or missing or in my case hard plastic bushing was broke at sway bar mounting).
    Or take corner faster and then you'll have a good view of underneath that will then be in plain view if you roll it. But you don't probably don't want your underneath sunny side up.
  • You can't be serious with this right?
    I can't even think of any instance when driving my class a I would feel compelled to take a large right sweeping turn than an immediate left at 20mph.
    my wife would ring my neck after first tearing a hole in the arm rests.
    if you have brakes, use them.
  • ??? Air Bags over inflated. Overloaded front axle - rear axle? Side to side load distribution.. Broken springs - shocks on left side.
    Do you have a Toad that could have a connection problem to RV?
    Something that is throwing ride control off.
    Time to crawl under vehicle or call mobile mechanic.

    Is it a Ford chassis? If so, google "cheap F53 sway bar fix". That might help your problem.

    "40 foot Class A" is not enough information.
  • No surprise, they are not Indy race cars, like big rig trucks who have to slow down around corners because of the center of gravity on a rig. Not sure what the OP is expecting.

    This won't end well. :)
