There is also a loading problem that can affect the handling but most people do not get their coach weighed. Most coaches will handle better if the front axle is loaded close to it's maximum.
This can only be determined by weighing the coach after it is loaded for travel, with all occupants on board and the tire pressure adjusted accordingly.
Another thing to check, which very few do, is the front end alignment, with the coach loaded for travel. Depending on the type of front suspension, the alignment can change with the load. It is also a good chance to check for proper four wheel alignment, commonly called the thrust angle adjustment.
