Top Heavy Sway

[basqueoju]

My wife and I just purchase our first motor home, 2001 Fleetwood Bounder 32' Class A only 14K miles, drives straight, rides well but has top heavy sway on curves and over bumps that I would like to minimize. I checked the sway bars & bushings and they look like new. I'm wondering if I should install air bags, replace the shocks(they look like new still) or what?? Don't want to just through money at something that won't help. If anyone has had this experience with a similar motor home and found a good solution I would much appreciate your feedback.

Thanks
John

Check the outside dualies for proper air pressure.

If you have a Ford chassis, try moving the sway bar front links to the inside holes. Depending on how the rear sway bar is mounted, you may need to either lengthen the front sway bar links, or have them lengthened. If this does not fix all of the problem, some spring assistance may be needed. You can install air bags, or some passive system such as Sumo or Timbren helper springs. If you have rear tail waging, a track bar on the rear end will fix that problem.

What chassis is the coach built on?

Welcome to the forum and, congrats on your Blunder.
Make sure the sway bar bushings are solid and don't just look New.

Also, check your tires. RV tires usually age out before they wear out.
Most replace their tires between 5 & 10 years. They start to dry rot. Even if the tread looks good the tires may need replaced.

Enjoy your travels.

Put as much weight as low as you can. Go slower on turns. You can't drive it like a car.
