Amazing little change to 27N brought big results

We purchased a 2014 Winnegabo 27N after putting over 200000 mile on 2 American Traditions. We wanted to downsize and did not want another poor investment. Don't get me wrong we loved our last Tradition. Time and age were catching up to us.
All that being said a couple of things bothered us;
1. No washer / dryer, fixed that by installing a Splendide Comb
2. Harsh ride, still investigating that
3. I could always see our CRV moving side to side in the rear camera. Stopped at Richfield Trailer Supply in Grand Rapids, MI and saw a product by Roadmaster called quiet hitch. Less than $30.00 that looked like it would do the trick.
It did, also noticed quickly thatI was not correcting the steering as much. Car does not move at all. There was a very minor amount of play between the and the Blue Ox tow bar.
I watch the forums all the time and have never felt that our F53, 18,000 chassis handled poorly
We have over 24,000 miles on it.
Still amazed that our Tradition got better miles/gallon

Selling our 2016 Vista LX 27N due to many issues including noise and poor handling. Two trips to the factory and $900 for a Safe T Plus steering stabilizer and still exhausting to drive. Don' t want to spend any more money on handling improvements for marginal improvements. Loved the floor plan and the exterior storage but time to purchase a used high end DP.
