Larry-every Forest River owner I've ever met said they wouldn't buy another one because of the poor quality control and shoddy construction. Not that that will help you now but it's a word to the wise for everyone else out there.

Not doing a thorough test drive is the worst thing a potential buyer can do. If they don't handle well on the test drive they will not get any better down the road. Properly aligned {with the correct amount of + caster} and the correct PSI for the load they carry there is no reason to expect handling problems in either the 350 or 450 E series.
To state that all of the most popular Class C chassis' ever built do not handle well is absurd.
:R
And that is my point, they do not come off the Ford production line with enough +caster AND you can be sure the RV maker does not do anything to add the caster. So, in all likelihood the owner of a new E350/E450 RV is going to need to convince an alignment tech to add more caster to this RV.
