My wife and I recently purchased a pre owned 2013 Winnebago Vista 26he with 29000 miles in near mint condition that had been immaculately taken care of by two ladies in their 60's. They were very particular and diligent in making sure all maintenance was regularly done. We drove it from Lincoln Ne to Albuquerque NM to the Balloon Festival on our first trip with it towing our new 2017 Jeep Cherokee. I installed a Safe-T-Plus steering control stabilizer before we left. All I can say is this is the most horrible handling vehicle I have ever driven in the wind. It was a white knuckle drive anytime the wind was coming from the side and especially on rough roads. The tires are good and they had the chassis serviced two days before we bought it. I thought possibly the alignment was off. I took it to a reputable shop in Albuquerque to be checked. He said that often they do a poor job of camber alignment at the factory. My records showed it had been aligned at 17000 miles and shims added to correct the caster. After checking it, he said the alignment was spot on.
All I can say is. I am selling this thing because it was like driving a billboard in the wind and I am not taking it on another trip. I can't imagine that any further work on the chassis would help this short and tall RV enough to matter, and I would bet it is the nature of this type of RV. It is not quite as bad without the Toad behind it but to put it mildly. It scared the hell our of both of us. I did not notice that the Safe-t-Plus Steering control was of much benefit either.. Has anyone had any experience with these short tall RVs of any Mfg. I did not see the trailers or 5th wheels being blown around as we were. Thanks All.
