That headlight issue is awful on so many coaches. We changed ours out on our old RV to LED lights, so we could finally see at night.

Not to hijack this thread, but who was the manufacturer of your replacement headlights.?

A question for the original poster: Did you find out what you wanted to learn from this thread?

My neck and shoulders used to be very tight and sore after a long day on the road, now it's how long my butt can stand to be in the seat that limits our time on the road.

Best example I can give is one morning as I came off the freeway ramp, beginning that days travel, there was a very strong cross wind coming from my right that I was having to "fight". After about 20 seconds the CD automatically dialed in the correct amount of assistance to eliminate any extra effort I was putting in to keep us in our lane. In our previous coach I'd have been ready to get off the road after a couple hours of fighting the steering wheel, that day it was not an issue.

There are other benefits too, but that day solidly confirmed what I had already concluded before that drive.

Some people like the crosswind and road crown compensation. Others like the very light steering efforts in the campground. Still others like the ability for it to come back to center, even while standing still or backing up. Some find pleasure in being able to tune the steering efforts to what they want at the moment. All these people drive one.


There is another group who say it's a gimmick and have no use for it. If these people have ever driven one, it was only for a short time and with a poor demonstration presenter.
