DC and Phil, What are the actual lengths of your "24-ft" coaches, and their wheelbases? We had a 24 that was 25-something and on an un-stretched 158" wheelbase. It actually handled pretty well, but was on the earlier kingpin front end, not the newer ball joint axle with the poor sway bar design. If the coach builder wasn't going to stretch it, should have at least used the 176" WB that was available back then.
I'm thinking you guys might have enough wheelbase to reduce rear overhang while shifting an adequate portion of loaded weight to the front axle. With adequate weight distribution, appropriate tire pressure and a half decent alignment, a coach should track OK.
