Roll, that is not always normal, there will be some draw from large trucks & each MH reacts differently from what i read here. I would suspect that it will get much better after an allignment. There are suspension upgrades that can be added if need be, but with your MH being new I would have the dealer chase it with a good allignment then rebalance of the tires if that didn't fix it. My 2004 34 1/2' class A gasser barely moves when large trucks pass me. No suspension upgrades that I know of, I bought it used with 7600miles. I have rear airbag suspension that I think is standard equipment & tube shocks in the front.

I just be came an irv2 member. Looks like a great resource for rv'ers. We are also 1st time rv'ers. We just passed our one year anniversay and put 10K miles on Georgetown Model 330. We experienced the typical front end alignment issue and are working towards closeout on our 1 year warranty items. Flooring is the main open issue with tears resulting from slideout rollers.

Large trucks passing me push me off the road and then pull me in as they complete the pass. This is normal I guess?

Several Georgetowns came with bad allignments.
especially the 378 models. Forest River realligned mine at the Ford dealer and it tracked much better after that. We added a Safe-T stablizer and that corrected the wandering due to the worn roads. Our steering wheel was off too and it can be corrected while your having it alligned.

Well we finally did it. My Bride and I have made the plunge, one that we thought we never could do. We are newbies at Rv'ing, just purchased a 2005 Charleston. It is a bit overwhelming but we are looking forward to showing our country to the grand-children.

they might be expanding but you need to really watch this companies quality. I know I will never buy one of their units. Had to redo too many things to get my unit on the road after all the tires and clean up the saw oust and on and on .

I can probably fill a book on what has happened to us since our 5th Wheelo Crusader back in November 2011. We have owned it since then, used it one time, just got it out of the dealership from a Jan. 3rd, 2012. Problems, I've got a list of things that have been either replaced or repaired, no replaced, they don't repair anything...send me your email address and I will contact you..thanks
