My wife and I are very new to the RV world (5 weeks) and am out on our second trip. We bought a 2006 National RV SeaBreeze 33 foot class A gas. I've been struggling with the "wandering" issue and have been playing with the air pressures in the tires and coil air bags first. I equalized the air bags at 40psi, then added 10psi to the passenger side (as it wanted to wander to the right) and that helped a bit. I plan on adding another 10psi after this trip to see if that helps even more. The new tires were at 110psi when I got it from the shop, so I lowered pressure to 100psi. So I have a couple of questions:
1. Chassis - It a Ford V10 engine. VIN has F53 in the series, so I assume it's an F53 chassis. However the Ford placard says 53 then T. This is important, of course, as I want to buy a rear sway bar and need to know what to order.
2. Tire pressure - tires say 110psi max, Federal placard says 85psi, the Ford chassis sticker says 90psi. Should I stick with the Ford number?
3. What speeds do you all normally cruse at on the highway? Seems for this RV, between 60 and 65 is where it likes to be. Over 65 becomes more white knuckle than I like. I do notice that with the cruise set at 63-64 I have not been passing any RVs, and none seem to be passing me, so I suppose that's a clue.
Thanks for any help.
