- aerbus32Explorer IIWe've done every suspension upgrade available to our 37f Winnebago, including a steering stabilizer. Work has been done at 2 sister outfits. Redlands Truck & RV and All Wheel Alignment in Redding. Indications are that you are in N Cal. Strongly suggest you have AWA test drive it and consider their recommendations. Both of these outfits are top notch.

- GjacExplorer IIIThere are a lot of factors that determine the ride of your MH beside adding a steering stabilizer. Mine came with Steer Safe which I always believed that is why I could drive it with one hand like a car even though I had an old P-30 chassis under it. Last year after an accident I drove home with the Steer Safe disabled and I still drove it with one had and could feel no difference in handling. You can start with weighing 4 corners then posting your weights, describing what your handling issues are so you can get better responses to your problem. What is your wheel base? You can also try the CHF that folks with the Ford chassis all say it helps greatly and is free before you start adding expensive stuff that may or may not help.
- HarvardExplorerIf your unit has loose steering and wanders at highway speeds then it may benefit from having more +caster. Also, reducing the front tire pressure to the minimum required pressure will give the existing +caster more steering stability.
- outboardfeverExplorerNo real problems, just starting a long road to make the coach better as we go. Only made one trip so far just getting to the difference between this and 35 years of 5th wheels.
- wildmanbakerExplorerDo all the other things to make it ride and steer better before adding anything to the steering linkage, as it may mask a real problem. I am not saying that they do not help, but make sure everything is in order first.
- GjacExplorer IIIYou may find as you get used to driving a Class A the perceived handling issues will diminish.

X2.
Also, when you're on the road, watch nearby semi trucks. Those cost many times what a RV does and if they're wandering the roadway, then it's likely your RV is fine and it's just that day's weather or the roadways condition.
One thing I check is truck ruts in the slow lane. If I'm wandering the roadway, I'll move over to the speed lane (traffic permitting) to check if it's better over there. - mike_brezExplorerThat short wheel base on a 30ft rv is also going to be a little choppy. Best thing I ever learned was to look way way down the road and point it rather than steer it.
- mikimExplorerWe had ours upgraded at Henderson's Line Up in Grants Pass. No sales tax either.
