Yes. This is normal class A gasser behavior. They do not behave well on bumpy roads or windy conditions. There is no magical fix other than lowering the air pressure in your tires. Be very careful about the potential for blow outs with insufficient air pressure in your tires though.

You can't really group them all into that category, IMO, as we had a P32 National Tropical with a tag axle for 9yrs, that we drove all over the country and must say, that if anyone had complaints with the way it handled, then I'd have to say, that they just couldn't drive.
The only strain I ever had with driving it, was when we drove across three SW states in 50mph crosswinds and that would have been with anything. Other than that, one little finger on the wheel would keep it between the lines and trucks didn't have much of an effect on it, either. Don't think there's a better ride out there, other than a DP. Naturally what we have now is superior and even without the tag, as there's not much overhang behind the rear wheels and what it's all about IMO with whether or not, the tail is going to wag the dog or not.

Topical 36, I was not aware that gassers had tag axles. Please read my post again. I specifically stated "gassers". I would much prefer the diesel chassis ride over a gasser, but the poster was asking about his gas rig. Just clearing it up.
