Wallowing Beast

[BOBS66440]

My new to me RV runs and drives well, but definitely feels wallowy, overloaded and top-heavy. It's somewhat unnerving to drive, though once on the open road it seems fine. I have never driven one of these before and my buddy (who has) says generally, that's just the way they are. I used to have a CDL and have driven big trucks before but this is very mushy compared. The shocks and springs are good I think. It has a front anti sway bar and the bushings are good but it does not have a rear anti sway bar. I have seen aftermarket rear bars and am wondering if this is an improvement that will make a difference? Thanks!

Consider how you are loading it. Lightweight stuff goes high, heavy stuff goes low. Water tank is low - is it full? That might help.

RV's are heavy and top heavy with stiff rear springs. Some claim much better handling and ride with costly after-market improvements. You will get recommendations on stabilizer bars, alignment changes, air bags, springs, etc.
This is a common subject, read the pertinent "stickies" and use search for many relevant threads.

A rear sway bar will make a lot of difference in the way it handles and will help in the sway and leaning. Also check the shocks,a good set of Bilsteins really will help too.

My Chevy based Class C has front and rear sway bars and a new set of Bilsteins and handles well.Others of the same year that were not built on a Workhorse Chassis,they didn't come with rear sway bars,did have a problem of control.

Have you weighed the rig? Four corner plus front and back.
What tire pressure are you running?
