I am looking a very nice 2003 Kountry Star 3301 with the Workhorse. It has a 208 inch wheelbase, which gives a wb ratio of only 51% which RV Consumer Group says is not good. Can anyone advise of how the handling of this particular model is, especially in adverse conditions? We have never owner a motorhome before, and I don't want to do something that I will regret later. Thank

We had a 2003 KS 3301, and drove it for 35000 miles. I had the front shocks replaced by WH and added a Steer Safe. It handled just fine and the ride was nearly equal to our Honda Accord.

John, I have a 2003 38' coach on WH, BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.
I did change out the shocks and added a track bar on the rear suspension.
I have added other things but this will get you started.
I'm just and old guy that spends money as you can see by my list.
You should check the under side of you coach and look at the shocks and see if there might be a bar already in the rear. If it is not red it maybe blue from Henderson's my shocks are blue yellow Bilsteins. Your coach is 33' long wheel base should handle just fine.
