Other Brand Steering Mods

[revjeffrey]

I'm here at Cedar Point. Parked next to me is a New Winnebago Intent. We do love our Axis but miss some of the features on our old Minnie Winnie. I have been looking at the Intent online only. I walked up to the gentleman and said Nice rig How do you like it?? He said he did not... I asked why? He said. I can't keep it on the road, it's brand new and I put SUMOS front and rear, front and rear sway bars and Saf-t-plus. (SAME THING I INSTALLED ON MY AXIS) He still does not like the handling. Said he is going to trade in on a Palazzo ? Hmmm.... I trade every 5 yrs so I'll keep looking..

if your not happy with the handling, the first thing you should do before adding anything is have the rig aligned. Tell the shop that you want as much positive caster added as possible and still stay in manufacturers specs.
Positive caster makes the steering a little harder but power steering overcomes this.
(Visualize positive caster as the front wheels on a shopping cart)

Then a steering stabilizer if you are constantly steering and finally sumo springs if the rig sways in cross winds, trucks passing.
