Part of it could be because of the winds here in AZ - been getting hit by 12-15 MPH wind gusts all day combined with my first day of driving an RV. Also looks like the wind is going to follow me on my trip up north going into the 20MPH range.
To make you feel better....I don't know where you were driving today in Arizona but the wind speeds were 20-30 mph and will continue tomorrow. You'll probably be getting the same enroute to California. When it gets that speed it's best to call it a day unless you really have to be somewhere. From what we saw today the semi trucks were even having a hard time keeping it straight.
It is very dusty out there also so when you're driving in the California deserts slow it down and be aware that a dust storm can come up fast. If you happen to be driving in one get off the highway if you can and turn off your lights. Other vehicles will see your lights and plow into you thinking you're still driving. We've been in a couple with our 40' motorhome and it's an awful feeling when you can't see anything.
Have a good trip. Hopefully, when the winds calm down you'll see that your RV is handling o.k.
