I just purchased a 2006 Four Winds 5000 29R Class C on a Ford E450 chassis with a V10. It has 8,400 miles and drives great but it has a good bit of tail sway and rut tracking. There are a lot of products out there. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
ANSWER The first thing I would do is get new shock absorbers. I am going to assume that the shocks on your motorhome are original. I was experiencing the same sort of problem you were with our class A motorhome; it drove well but under certain road conditions it would get a bit squirrely. So I replaced the factory shocks with some Bilstein Gas Pressure Shocks.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much better the motorhome handled by just changing the shocks. It seems to handle much better in the wind and also when semis blow by me. Cornering is a lot smoother with less rocking back and forth and it took bumps a lot better.
