Not too bad with passing trucks, as much as continual FLOAT at the front end. :-(
Have had other MH's not as noticeable, but admittedly our last was a DP and a dream to drive.
Have been reading about Safe Steer and Safe-T-Plus but most comments have to do more with wind or passing sway more than general tracking. At this point ours is definitely a two hander!
thanks in advance for your counsel --- have a big trip coming up late summer.

Rear track bar. Steering stabilizers are only to absorb shock and help in blow out situations. Floaty steering is rear track related. The axle isn't staying centered under the house.

I installed the Roadmaster steering stabilizer on my 2016 Chateau 31E. The difference was like night and day. The unit is worth every penny. The rig tracks much more consistently and when trucks come by, it moves much less than the factory set up. It's an easy, bolt-on install. I highly recommend.

Now back to your question. If you want a steering stabilizer because it is protection against a blowout or sudden front wheel event I like the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stablizer. I had several on various motorhomes and prefer that one which is also is well priced although price was not my decision making. I am presently deciding whether to go for the blue Ox true center on my new motorhome.

Rear track bar. Best upgrade we did.

We had ours upgraded at Henderson's Line Up in Grants Pass. No sales tax either.

That short wheel base on a 30ft rv is also going to be a little choppy. Best thing I ever learned was to look way way down the road and point it rather than steer it.

X2.

Also, when you're on the road, watch nearby semi trucks. Those cost many times what a RV does and if they're wandering the roadway, then it's likely your RV is fine and it's just that day's weather or the roadways condition.

One thing I check is truck ruts in the slow lane. If I'm wandering the roadway, I'll move over to the speed lane (traffic permitting) to check if it's better over there.

Do all the other things to make it ride and steer better before adding anything to the steering linkage, as it may mask a real problem. I am not saying that they do not help, but make sure everything is in order first.
