Assuming you have a class A MH, it would be on a Chevy P32 chassis.
That chassis has a bell crank in the steering linkage that was not the best when new. Have some one shake the steering wheel and see if the bell crank moves up and down. If so, replace it with a Bell Crank from Super Steer.

Really? I didn't know there was a bell crank, I don't have anyone around right now to do anything, but I checked and there sure is a bell crank. Thank you for the link also. Ill ask a friend if they can come over tomorrow and we will yank a bit on it see if there is anything loose there. I am also going in for a tire inspection tomorrow so hopefully whatever it is is found out!
To test the bell crank properly, you need the tires on the ground and move the steering wheel back and forth. That applies the same pressure as when driving. Yanking on the bell crank by hand will not show the failings you need to see.
