But, you will still get buffeted by the wind wall of passing big rigs and other RVs. If you are a weekend warrior, it's probably not an issue, (most likely the thinking of every motorhome manufacturer). However, if you are a fulltimer, or just picky, then you will want to modify things a bit.

Here is the list of suspension modifications that you might start investigating:

1. CHF - The "Cheap Handling Fix".
2. Steering Stabilizer, (Safe-T-Plus, TruCenter).
3. Rear Axle Stabilizer Bar.
4. Shock Absorbers, (you likely don't need this one on a new coach).

Some people perform them in different order, or skip some.
Good suggestions here, I went one further and put Sumo Spring Maxims on the front. I have not replaced my shocks yet as mine is new also.
These make the driving much more manageable and enjoyable. WIND is a different story, it will still push you all over.
PS: with the mods passing semi's were not an issue coming from either way just flat out cross winds are.
