Please forgive me for another post about steering 'wander'. We have a new 2017 Winnebago class A that has the dreaded wandering problem (don't they all...maybe except the very high end units). First, I had the front end aligned...no affect; then weighed and psi adjusted...no affect; then steering stabilizer installed...thankfully some positive affect but still some wandering particularly on windy days. I know it'll never steer like a Lincoln or Cadillac but would like for it to be a bit less of a constant strain on the driver (me). I'm willing to have another after market add-on if it would result in some positive result as did the steering stabilizer. Been thinking that a rear trac bar might be the next step to take. Would appreciate any comments from you 'experienced' drivers. Thanks!
I for one, just don't get it.
We had an old P30 Pace Arrow that did fine.
Then a 98 National Tropical with a tag axle, that took just one finger for keeping it between the lines, trucks or no trucks Took it across 3 states with a 50mph crosswind, in fact and so bad, that we had to keep the slides in when parked.
Now with the present and larger DP, without a tag, there's not a lot of difference going down the line, except it does ride and drive a lot nicer overall.
I think the key is in the sometimes long overhang, behind the wheels and with Ford or Chevy, the tail could be wagging the dog. In fact, some are utterly ridiculous and don't know how they even sold such a beast.
