They will not go over certain bridges and will not travel certain roads, because they just do not know how to drive a motor home, or any other large vehicle. They will be uncomfortable in any vehicle larger than a mini-van. It is not the chassis' fault.

I can pretty much handle it with one finger and for it to ride and handle any better, it would have to be a decent DP. I even have the older narrow track. Can't say I prefer it, since I haven't had the wide, but it does allow me get in under the wheel wells when required and there's a lot more of them out there for parts and such.
