Jby0070 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 I have a 1997 Roadtrek 190 Popular, on Dodge 3500 one-ton van chassis ---The motorhome conversion is made in Canada. Weighs about 7,500 pounds loaded for a 2-week trip with one skinny driver. It has a very short 126" wheelbase, so has always been tailheavy, but seems to be harder and harder to keep on the road, at 55-60 mph or more. Crawling under it, I don't see any anti-sway bars front or rear.... Wonder if it needs them, or just needs new front shocks perhaps. How does one tell, and/or who can an owner trust to tell him the truth about what is needed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickandlois Report post Posted June 4, 2013 Jby, Welcome to FMCA, This is a link to a Copy of the owners manual for your unit if you need one. http://www.roadtrek.com/_Uploads/manuals/Roadtrek_Owners_Manual_1997_All_Models.PDF This information from page 20 of the manual. Check the Cargo Carrying Capacity, See the informationattached to the driver door post, inside of the Lower Galley Door. Have you checked the Weight of the coach with the load you have? Checking all four corners is the best way, but front and read weights would be better then the full weight to get an idea of your weight distribution Tire pressure is also a factor and the condition of the shock absorbers. Rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jurisinceptor Report post Posted July 28, 2013 I have also found that tire quality plays a major factor. For example, fiberglass vs. all steel sidewalls. I noticed a huge difference when I replaced my tires with all steel rather than the fiberglass that were on the coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdeals69 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 Have the front end alignment checked, a toe out will make it wander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
