Do you have experience driving similar long-wheelbase vehicles previously?
While it's certainly possible that the alignment needs adjusting or some suspension parts are worn (both are quite common problems), it may also partly be you not being used to how the vehicle behaves. The natural tendency of many people at first is to overcorrect because it takes longer for the vehicle to respond to steering adjustments. Sometimes the solution is as simple as consciously looking further down the road and perhaps trying to make more gentle steering inputs to keep in the proper lane position.
I drove a 31ft 1996 Safari Trek for 4 years (P30 chassis), a 40ft 2002 Newmar Duchstar for 15 years ( Spartan chassis) sold it in 2017 with 106K miles.
I will have the camber checked and form what I'm now reading , I will add a safe-T steer, Billstein shocks, and sway bars.
It has air bags but the previous owner rode it with only 25 PSI and I will increase to 40-50 PSI
I had the tires inflated to 55- 80PSI front to back. before I drove it home.
Thnaks for your input and I hope this all works out.
I love the fiberglass roof and interior quality of winnebago and think it's second to Coach House and Phoenix Cruise of that era.
