Please don't give up on me...still need help!
I've posted before regarding steering (wandering) problems on my '04 class A, Ford chassis. I've received good advice and have begun to take action on some of the comments. But, the problem continues!...

1. On mine it was the tow bar on my toad. One arm would move ever so slightly in and out which caused the front end of the MH to 'APPEAR' to have front end problems wandering all over the place.
Visually the bar arm looked locked in, lever was in lock position, but when you rolled down the road it was coming in and out. You stop and check and it was locked in. And so it went.
That one took weeks to convince blueox it WAS the towbar. For the record they finally took a look at it and it WAS indeed faulty and gave me a new one.
2. The other time it was when I put new Michelin's on my MH. Front end started wandering all over. Again every one wanted to point to add ons, shocks, front end, etc etc....:R
It took talking to one semi truck driver for one minute to find out why my MH wandering.
He calmly walked over to my MH took two fingers and grabbed the outer rib on the new tires and wiggled it back and forth. I WAS amazed how much play that rib had. He said THERE is your problem.
The tires were too aggressive of a tire and that outer rib flex's back and forth giving you tire roll on any heavy truck chassis. Henceforth why semi's have a slick outer rib.
Yup I thought buying the most expensive tires for my MH was a good thing and simply just was not.
