This question/comments is in regard to a 2017 Thor Freedom Elite 29FE. The problem is the old story of steering wander. I’ve had the wheels balanced and the front end aligned. I tried to get the alignment guy to set the alignment at 5 degrees toe in as I’ve heard that is good to help with the wandering problem. He refused to agree to that request. I’ve got the tires aired to comply with weight. So, after doing all the above, the wandering problem still exists. Question for those of you who have put add-ons such as steer safe or trac bars, what did you add that made an appreciable difference? I’d like to know your opinions re: add-ons before I venture down that road. (I’ll also add this post to the Class C forum)
5 degrees of toe in on 32" diameter tires is 2.8" of toe in.
You alignment guy was correct in not doing what you ask.
I believe what you wanted was 5 degrees of caster. So you confused the issue. I suggest 3/32" to 1/8" total toe in, or 0.20 to 0.25 degrees of toe in.
