stopping a pleasure way from wandering on the road

I am looking at buying a 1999 to 2003 pleasure way excel, or excel td, on a ford chassis,and have heard that there is a problem with them wondering all over the road at 50 or 60 miles an hour? if that's true, what do the pleasure way owners out there in camper land do to rectify that problem?
Some people say, good tires? What brand would you recommend?
Wheel spacers, what does that do? other than making the back wheels 3" or 4" wider
installing new heavy duty shocks! what type would you recommend?
Any help you can put my way, would be greatly appreciated. As you can tell, its my first time buying a camper van!
Take care campers, and all the best.

  • I had a 2003 Pleasureway Excel. It had spacers installed by the first owner.

    I had no problems whatsoever keeping it on the road. It handled as well as any vehicle I have ever owned before and after that one.

    The spacers apparently do make the difference.
  • Scotty,

    Somehow, this ended up in the forum for technical support related to the forum itself. Ask one of the mods to move it to the appropriate forum and you might get more responses.
