Reducing "Tractor Trailer Push" E-350 Class C

Our Nexus is one of the largest 24' C's out there at 101" wide and 11'4" high with a full 7' of headroom throughout the coach. I've never had a problem with trucks passing even in windy conditions. Up to 35 mph relaxed one handed steering is the norm.

FWIW, our 24 foot Itasca Class C coach is about the same dimensions (but on a Ford E450 chassis), It's suspension is still stock as delivered by Ford and Winnebago - which includes a torsion/sway bar on both the front and back, and a steering damper shock in the front - other than having Koni FSD shocks finally installed in the rear to help tame the stiff leaf springs from under-loading an E450 chassis.

I haven't had anywhere near the handling problems that many owners in these forums mention. I attribute it too having the E450 chassis under a small Class C instead of the usual E350 chassis. We can drive it in high cross winds and I can steer it safely using only one hand on the wheel under most conditions.

I guess we lucked out when we found it new on a dealer's lot on the optional E450 chassis, as we wanted the E450 chassis under a small Class C for other reasons -> never guessing that any potential handling issues would not show up with that chassis under a small Class C.

For unknown to me reasons, some Class C manufacturers use the E450 chassis exclusively under all their models - even their small ones. For example - Lazy Daze.
