I have a 2000 Monaco DP 36 that has issues in cross wind and when being passed by semi's. Had front aligned by alignment shop that does buses, semi's and rv's. They strongly suggested replacing steers as they felt the West Lake tires prior owner had put on rig were causing pull to right. I immediately had tires changed to Michelin ZXE's on steers and coach steering improved. Most noticeable improvement was the coach stopped porpoising when hitting road dips and bumps and pulling to right stopped. However, on a recent trip to Las Vegas and back from Bay area showed that cross winds and passing semi's were still an issue. As coach does not have tag axle axle loading is not easily accomplished and the most forward storage area is located mid-ship so moving weight forward is not easily accomplished.
While I respect Blue Ox products I am not sure I want to be centering by pushing a button. Like the Steersafe concept, but the general comments on this and another forum thread were not particularly encouraging.
Any suggestions very welcome. Headed to AK from NorCAL next summer and really do not wish to fight the issue for 7 or 8,000 miles.
Hope to visit Quartzsite in 2012 and would have any thing installed by techs while there.
