I have done everything you had mentioned other than adding the rear track bar. The tires were at about 87lbs each, I am sure the tires could be at a lower pressure depending on the load. I did the CHF and tire pressure prior to the last test drive in the wind,(no liquid's or load in the storage and it was some help but not enough to justify going through all that stress fighting the road in the wind. I cant justify the expense of spending more money on this to "maybe" help a little bit because a little bit is not enough. Halloween is over so I am not in need of a scary ride. lol. We are going to look at the possibility of a smaller more low profile 5th wheel. The one thing I really don't like about the class A's is all of the noise, shaking and rattling. We had a 34ft Sportscoach and it wasn't quite as bad in the wind but we did not want something of that length again. I think the coach mfg's have all done a huge disservice to customers by building rigs that handle poorly and are noisy going down the road. They really don't care as long as they go out to the customer, Then its the customers problem to get them to handle better. If anyone wants an interesting Read called the "RV Industry Death Spiral" by Greg Gerber, Editor of the RV Daily Report. Its long but details many actual accounts of the horrors of buying New RVs.
