JMHO. I have had a 5er, a TT, 2 MHs and 4 TCs 2 goose neck stock trailers. I have found towing a 5er I never felt the cross winds or rocking and rolling that I felt in MHs, TTs, and TCs. Does that mean that my 5er never moved around like the others? NO! It just means I never felt the movement when in my PU towing it. I Still had to tie down my dining chairs and my recliners. I was just under a false illusion that my 5er wasn't moving around. I'm not saying one is better or worse than the other. I am saying any high profile object moves around in cross winds. Since I have driven Crown and MCI buses all I wanted is for my MH, on a Ford chassis to feel as close as possible to a bus. I realize that my Ford chassis MH will never drive that way but I did several mods to get the best feel possible. A rear trak bar, rear anti sway bar, rear air bags, rear CHF. On the front safe steer, and anti sway bar. I tried the front CHF. Wore out bushings in 3000 miles driving WY mountain roads and I didn't get the feel I was looking for. CHF on the front may work out great for others. That is great. Just not for me. I liked my 5er, TT, TCs and MHs. I just chose a MH this time.
