I put a steer safe on my 2002 gasser class A. One advantage that I like with having a class A, if it is raining or bad weather, we can pull into a parking lot or rest area and use the bathroom inside and not get wet or cold. Since you have the dogs, someone has to get wet and cold.
I agree with the others, you need to take your rig back to the dealer and have the steering looked at and maybe be adjusted.
Get a Atlas for truckers, in the front they have several pages by state where the low bridges are. When we first got our RV, I had a post it note on the dash to remind us how tall we are. It is helpful, especially if you are planning on going into a Walmart, only to find they have those stupid barriers up. I do not camp overnight in their parking lots, I just want to get some food, magazines, etc. Our last trip, if the barriers were up, unless I could see an easy way to get in, I just left to find somewhere else to spend my money.
Enjoy your new Class A.
