You keep talking about a force vector that is lateral. It is NOT lateral.
And, why would anyone want to "lift" the front? Don't you realize that the more traction you have on the healthy, NORMALLY-inflated steer tire the better off you are? The weight does NOT shift to the flat tire, the weight shifts to the tallest front tire. ANother thing, There is NOTHING that's going to take away the ability of the steering system to NOT work, on dry pavement, if the MH is coasting and dissipating speed. How else are you going to slow down? You think it's better to use the brake?
Have you ever figured out why people say, "It's like riding a bicycle...."?
This I learned in aviation school: There are certain methods which can be used to acquire facts and procedures which end up being absorbed by your cerebellum (you never forget it), and steering a vehicle with a steering wheel is one of them. But, depressing the accelerator when you do NOT need it, is NOT,...However, putting your foot on the brake pedal in case of emergency IS. Do you realize how difficult it is to UNLEARN items that are in your cerebellum? Here's how I think: Good luck with teaching a driver to NOT use the brake, and instead you should use the accelerator. I would first make sure, really sure, that you need to depress the accelerator BEFORE you teach it. Personally, I don't see that it's necessary. I couldn't find a single resultant force that it would bring on that is beneficial. Personally, I KNOW for sure, that the absolutely most important thing is to instantly and appropriately and without interruption keep working the steering wheel.
I recommend to all drivers to learn the most effective safe way your MH can be made to change direction. IN other words, why is it, and how is it, that when you turn the steering wheel the MH changes direction? The other thing is, as a driver, what can you do with your motorhome in order to produce a lateral force?
