1996 Dodge Roadtrek 190 Versatile wants to fly

Question

Why why why is my Dodge Roadtrek 190 Versatile determined to fly in the slightest of wind, forcing me to keep her at 55, or sometimes 50mph. Which causes some truckers to blast their horns, like I want to drive 55mph on an interstate where the cars and trucks rip right past my RV? So then in frustration I focus on the front window and ask how is it that this amazing machine was built not to withstand the wind?
So can you help me please and tell me why why why does my Dodge Roadtrek want to fly?

assuming that you are doing 50-55 in the right lane of an interstate, I fail to see why they are honking at you;. they don't honk at me doing the same. now if you are cluttering up the left lane, they should honk.

Get it checked out!  I can drive my 2001 190 Versatile at 70+ withno problems.

by 'fly' i assume you mean wander back and forth in the gusts
this is in the suspension and steering, you should get it checked
traveling with full water and LP will help by adding ballast weight

if it really wants to lift off the ground, get some wings and a pilots license
and go to oshkosh fly in, you will be a big hit

Have the front end checked out. It’s also possible the tires are under inflated and/or the wrong load rating. You should have no issues doing 70 wth that type of RV!

Also have the ball joints, wheel bearings, etc. on the front checked and  greased.
