Safe-T-Plus Steering Control - Good or Bad?
I own a 2010 Pleasure-Way Excel on a Ford E-350 chassis. The front end tends to drift at highway speed, and I'd like to get that under control. Do the Safe-T-Plus shocks actually work, or is it a wast...

Too little front end +caster will manifest itself as loose steering (and wandering) at highway speeds.
The Ford specified caster range is from +1.5 to +7.5 degrees. From my observations over the past 6 years it appears the E series comes off the Ford production set at about +3.5 degrees which is OK for city driving but very undesirable on the highway. Some RV builders do an alignment after building the body but many do not. You want to get up to LH +5.0 and RH +5.5 degrees for good results.
Google Ford E450/E350 caster for lots of info.
