When a passing 18 wheeler's bow wave hits the left back corner of your coach "box", it gets pushed toward the right, which causes the front to sway toward the left, and you have to correct by steering to the right. Then, as the truck moves forward in relation to your MH, the bow wave eventually pushes the front to the right, and you have to correct by steering left.
The amount of lateral movement between your "box" and your axles determines how much push and reaction you have to correct for with your steering. Reducing this lateral movement with a Trak (Panhard) bar on each axle will reduce your sideways sway and your steering problems.
