I had an Overbilt lift for years. Originally it was on a 40' Monaco with no tag. I moved it to a 45' Essex that had a tag. I carried a Harley Ultra Classic on it. It was installed by Art at Overbilt.
Generally on the Monaco I didn't feel it, except for when I was going fast. I used to call it my speed control. If I stayed at 65 or below I never felt it. The Monaco was somewhat squirrely on the highway in the wind.
I never knew the Overbilt was on the back of the Essex. It always tracked straight (except for the time the power steering pump failed hard to the right). I think it tracked straight because of the tag.
Before I had it put on the Monaco I calculated the weight to be added to the rear and removed from the front. For that reason we didn't get the fourth slide in the rear or the wasaher dryer they put in the rear. The axle was not over loaded.
