The real disappointment was that I had to continually correct the steering to keep the rig in the lane, minor corrections, but still irritatingly continual.
Several things can affect this
First. Believe it or not often Motor Homes are NOT factory aligned. Yup so step one is an alighment. Truck size alighment
Step two. I added a steering stablizer. IN my case a Blue Ox Tru-Center because at the time it was the ONLY one that had a driver's seat adjustment button (I can re-center without unbuckling my seat belt at the push of a button) Warning below. All the others to re-center you needed a wrench, hammer and crawl under the RV.
Pan-hard bars I put one on the front but I'm told the rear helps more (Trac bars is another name for them) These "lock" the body over the axle so the rig can not Wag like a dog.
additional suspension upgrades or repair may also be indicated (Shocks, Sway bar bushings and such) depending on the age of the rig.
The promised warning:
Ever watch a TV show where a novice pilot has to take a plane off Auto-Pilot and land it.. he flips the auto-pilot button and dang near looses it.
Well the instructions say DO NOT PUSH that button while driveing.
IF you do push that button.. YOU WILL BELIEVE THOSE MOVIES.
Not that said I re-center in motion... but Forewarned is forearmed so like the EXPIERENCED pilot. I know what to expect.
But the first time.. IT was dang near time to change my undies.
