Coach pulls to right when towing car

Recommended Posts

Our coach only pulls to the right when towing our 2300lb toyota yaris. Safe T steer, road master reflex steering stabilizer, and super steer rear track bar have all been installed with no change. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this issue. We have a 33ft hurricane. Coach does not pull if not towing.

Has it been tested with another car being towed. May be a problem with the  towed. 
 

if another towed has the same problem, check to see if hitch is off center that could be the problem.

 As mentioned, check the tow hitch for correct placement. If it’s not that, it could be an improper alignment. Might be worth getting a 4 wheel alignment check.

Sounds hard to believe, but have your MH alignment checked, not just a front wheel alignment but a total alignment that includes checking are correcting thrust angle. One telltale sign the thrust angle is out is the steering wheel is not level when driving straight. It is possible the weight of your towed is enough pull to affect steering if thrust angle is incorrect. (otherwise known as dog-tracking)

FWIW, my rear axle was out of alignment by 3/4" , no more pull to the right and steering wheel is level.

There is also a good chance that you are missing a step in setting the towed vehicle for towing.. if the towed steering wheel locks in at a slight turn angle, they will wear rapidly and pull the RV rear to that side slightly.... 

When you hooked up, were the towed vehicle's wheels/tires slightly one way or the other?

Some jeeps and other towed's after being hooked up would follow the RV on the first turn but then lock in at that angle if not set correctly for towing..
