Tell that to our friends that were traveling in front of us in their 40' MH on HWY 10 East towards Phoenix, AZ. Winds at 45 hitting us at an angle on the sides. When we arrived he got out and looked like he just got out of bed and was rattled. Before leaving he asked how fast I towed, I said 60-62. That is exactly how fast he was going. He said he had a HE!! of a time keeping in his lane. He asked how we did and I told him the ride was very controlled and comfortable with me driving with one hand most of the way. Later over drinks he was asking a lot of question about our combo.
It's all subjective but I have seen WAY too many Motorhomes come across the line. No thanks!
I hadn't thought about it before, but maybe it's because a truck & trailer has more tires on the road (unless the motorhome is pulling a toad). A big trailer has two axles plus two more on the truck; a total of 4 axles with maybe 8 or 10 tires. A motorhome has just 2 axles, with 4 or 6 tires. That's more rubber to grip the road.
This person has a single rear axle. I'm betting it's to do with suspension.
