wind
Just bought class c motorhome Leperchaun 27foot total. 2019 So driving in wind seems like a much harder job than towing a 5th wheel which we have also owned or a bumper pull. Is this just something ...

If you were buying a nice SUV {BMW, MB, Range Rover} spending well over $100,000 would you accept the salesman explanation that it would need a full alignment and several thousand dollars of additional after market add ons to make it ride and handle decently??? [emoticon]
I didn't think so, so why do buyers of a motorhomes do this all of the time? [emoticon]
The rv is a specialty vehicle. We want it. We have to have it no matter what ! We are adult children ! The rv industry knows it and we keep buying them , period !
When buying a car, we deal with the dealership who deals directly to the car mfg. Things are easier to get done.
When buying an rv, we deal with the dealership, the rv mfg AND third parties ! * Third parties are the problem step.
Getting an alignment means the dealer usually must set it up at another shop and pay the bill. From my experience , I do not think the rv mfg will go along with paying the dealership. That leaves having to do this extra nonsense ourselves or have a very good dealer to back us.
As for all the other stuff like sway bars, shocks, rear track bars....they are all specific handling upgrades that we as individuals feel we need. They are not considered mandatory to operate the rv. Nobody but the individual will pay for those.
