Problem solved. while at Roadmaster getting an Invisibrake, etc installed, one of their chief suspension guys came out. the first thing he asked is whether or not i have steering problems. of course i said yes. he explained that with the large overhang, the rear of the coach is moving the front of the coach. He actually pushed on the rear of the coach and you could see the "flex" movement. he recommended a rear Sway Bar and a "Super Steer Rear Trac". i had them do that and the coach now rides like my pickup does-very little movement. All along, i thought it was a front end issue. hope this helps others. I believe the guy's name was Wayne. if you have this issue, just call him at Roadmaster-800-669.9690. they are great people to work with.

Yep, Wayne is his name and he designs the sway bars. Great guy.

i am now on the road and happy to say, my steering issue is resolved. Luckly, i live in Vancouver, WA which is where Roadmaster is headquartered. While having other work done this guy, Wayne, walks up and asked me if i am having any problems with steering. i said i did. Wayne just happens to be the developer of Roadmaster's suspension systems. He said i needed a rear stabilizer and one other thing i can't remember the name of. I let them do the work, $1,100 worth, and the problem is solved. I was always thinking the front end needed something done, but it is the rear end that needed help.
