Recently we bought our first class A motorhome. When towing our Town & Country on a dolly our RV was swaying so much I was really frightened. It’s a 2015 Georgetown 34.4 feet with 3 slides. The Unit only has about 9,000 miles. We replaced all 6 tires (none were balanced) just installed. We also put new tires on the dolly.
Our RV is swaying without pulling a vehicle but not as much as towing.
Any suggestions or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 
Sway as in tracking down road or body roll left right?
 
2015' 9000 🤔 DP/GASSER? Weight scale?(Weight distribution).

Keep off the hyway till you know what is happening!!! Don't tow anything till you know what is happening!!!

My guess is to much Weight to far back, but that is only a guess.
 
Joe that would be hard to answer!
After rereading question I think he means tracking as the dolly will not have body roll. Almost sounds like either suspension problem or alignment

Hopefully we will find out if he has sway without dolly!
Cheap dollies are notorious for not tracking well.
 
Answer for a bad tracking dolly is checking the geometry, hitch to spindle alignment.
 
Not sure what brand of dolly but here is an interesting case of sway with a Master Dolly
 
I’m guessing too much weight too far back also but without more info its just guess.
