One of my 2015 Thor Majestic 28a Class C RVs is out on the road with a friend (currently near West Wendover, Nevada). Zero issues up to this point. They just reported to me that there is a steering issue. They told me that something happened such that in order to drive straight on a flat smooth road they need to keep the steering wheel turned 30 degrees to the right. They turned around and headed back to the nearest town. On the way to that town, the steering got even worse.
Tire pressure is fine on all tires.
This is all I know at this point. I told them to bring it to a shop (if safe to drive) and/or have a mobile mechanic come to them. They are parked in town in a safe location. They are about 600 miles from my location so there isn't much I can do to help them.
Without any other info, could any of you give me your best guess as to what sorts of issues could cause the steering to get "funky" like that?
Thanks in advance! I will be sure to report back updates. As always, I appreciate your knowledge and sharing ***Link Removed***!

Hey Chris,
Man, that's a tough situation, especially being 600 miles away from your friend! From what you've described, it sounds like there could be a few different things going on. Off the top of my head, it could be an alignment issue, a problem with the power steering, or maybe even something more serious like a damaged tie rod. I'm not a mechanic, but those are my best guesses.
You're right to have them take it to a shop or get a mobile mechanic ASAP, as driving with steering issues is super risky. Hopefully, it's nothing too expensive or difficult to fix. Keep us updated, and fingers crossed it's an easy fix!
