I don't get the comfort drive thing.....my power steering is easy enough that i can drive w/ 2 fingers too, and it does take much more effort than that to turn the wheel even when stopped (the power steering on our coach is better than whats on our f350).
I watched a couple of videos links (from the newmar site) and all they talked about was how easy it was to steer their coach - they mentioned nothing about compensating for crown of the road or WIND....i can already do that & its not fatiguing.
Im not sure id want my wheels returning to straight (when sitting still)....i mean at what point do we get to make the decisions ourselves & DRIVE ??
IMO its not safe to encourage folks to steer with one or two fingers (as they were doing in the video)....id hate to see how that works during a steer tire blow out !
I understand how fatiguing it can be to fight a steering wheel (had an alignment issue)...but once that was resolved I'm completely relaxed behind the wheel & I'm not fighting the steering....my power steering is some of the best, its not difficult to turn the wheel or drive with 2 fingers.
