Question Can't look away.

[Too Little Too Late]

Not that I'm suggesting you poor money into the front end...I will mention that Henderson products Super Steer are great additions. I have their bell crank replacement as well as the Trim Unit with the Safe-T-Plus and have replaced the front sway bar bushings with their replacements. The shocks were replaced with KONI's. They are wonderful shocks. Had Bilstein and they were a failure (long story). I LOVE the trim unit...and have had techs from the alignment shop praise the drivability of the coach when they compare to others. Again...good luck with your quest.

Thank you Rich. I'll take a look at Henderson. I don't know what some of these devices are, bell crank, trim unit, but I'm gonna check it out. All this information, it's so valuable because it has your stamp of approval. Or Bilstein, your disapproval. Valuable stuff.

Would like to offer some useful advice when weighing in at a CAT scale. They have an APP that you can setup prior to arrival at the scale. If you have that ready...when pulling onto the scale almost everything is done on the app...including payment and a weigh ticket sent to your email. I have used it....it's very nice to sit in the driver's chair and get everything without having to interact with a live operator or go inside. Good luck. After I weighed...I have adjusted all my tires to 90psi. I'm probably lighter than you. I've attached my weigh ticket so you'll see what you receive via the app.

Here you are again. I've never been to the scales, and didn't have a clue about what to expect. Now I can go there like I know what I'm doin'. Thanks again for all the info.

If I take my eyes off the road for a second, I might find myself upside down in a bean field. When I bought the coach the front wheel bearing nuts were over four turns too loose. (How does this happen?) Took them off, checked the bearings, and put them back RIGHT, with fresh gear lube. Made a huge difference, but still I can't look away for a second. I watched Ernest Borgnine on YouTube looking around and carrying on conversations with everyone in the coach. He even made a remark saying it was like driving a really big station wagon. I've been to three alignment shops. Watched YouTube videos about adding caster to make the wheels want to center. Some one asked why the shims on the spring perches are facing opposite directions. Hmm, I don't know, maybe something to do with road crown. So I already know about the add on stuff. I just think this coach should drive a little more like a really big station wagon. In about 300 days we plan on being full timers. Any Ideas before we hit the road? . . . ahh leave?

So how old are your tires, how are they wearing? Older tires can make a coach drive erratic especially a smaller lighter coach.
What chassis is under your coach? I had a 2008 Winnebago Journey 39Z with a 6.7 Cummins on a medium duty Freightliner chassis. It was not very enjoyable to drive in windy conditions or when passing a larger vehicle such as a semi. Maybe adjust the tow in about an 1/8” and see if that improves the drive ability. Look at the paperwork they gave you after the alignments and see where the tow is set. If it is at zero or towed out that could be a part of the problem. I found on mine slightly towed in is better. Freightliner can help you with specifications and you can compare that to what the alignment shop provided. I installed a Safe-T-Steer system on it and it helped a lot and highly recommend it.

Ultimately smaller coaches from my experience and discussions with those who have done as have found they do not handle the road conditions anywhere close to that of a tag axle coach or a Super C.
