IMHO with any top heavy spring suspension RV there will be modifications needed to help make it easier to drive. Depending on wheel base to bumper-to-bumper ratio your RV will either need one or two mods or a bunch so it won't be a terror to run down the highway in it. On our Challenger 37GT we did front end alignment, CHF, Safe-T-Plus, and Sumos all the way around. After all those modifications it went from a horrible vehicle to drive to something manageable, but still not a pleasure.

The only way to be able to run 65mph down the highway with two fingers on the wheel and not get pushed around by passing semi trucks is to be in a 40' or longer tag axle DP. When I get passed, or the few times I pass a semi they are the ones fighting the wheel to stay straight in their lane, not me.
