Yesterday test drove 2007 Pace Arrow 35A with 8.1L workhorse. Really like the unit EXCEPT on a slightly rutted highway it sways side to side a lot more than I'm confortable with. Speed 50-55 mph. Zero wind conditions. What can be done to eliminate this problem? Owned 4 motorhomes in the past but not for last 5 years.

Track bars on both front and rear axles will help dampen steering sway.

I agree with the assessments here. Too bad the chassis and/or coach manufacturers don't automatically put these on the chassis. When you pay the kind of price for a coach of this caliber you'd think you shouldn't need to spend more on it right out of the door.

Another option is try and get the dealer to include these items if they want to make the sale.
