This is a new rig with less than 3,000 miles on it. I would think it should handle better then it does. It seems to me that something in the front end needs to be adjusted. I guess my first step is to get it weigh and then set tire pressure accordingly.

Roger, thanks for your input. To this day I have never used my arm rest, but I am about to try. It sure does make sense. Thanks again and I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Bill, so you are now useing the safety-T on your rig? You have a diesel engine? I thought, for some reason, the safety-T was used mostly for gas engines. I'll call the company to see if they sell them for diesel pushers. Thanks for your info.

I must have missed this question. Yes, mine is a diesel. I did forget to mention, I also had new shocks put on. Mine was 5 years old when I did this.

Hope you've had some relief to your issue. I know the Safety-T helped me. And BTW, I did have a front blow out without the Safety-T....I managed to not wreck. It was a close call, though.

I have had the safe-t-plus on my workhorse chassis and now on my 2018 40 QKH phaeton with freightliner. It does a good job of keeping you in the lane with semi's and wind gusts.
They are located just west of Atlanta in Austell and will install and road test for you. $600-$700. Worth the money especially for the blow out safety.
