+Caster

+Caster is natures steering stabilizer.

If the final RV build is nose down one degree then the runtime caster could be about +3.5 degrees. These units can have a real wandering problem.

If the final RV build is nose level then the runtime caster could be about +4.5 degrees. These units are probably indifferent.

If the final RV build is nose up one degree then the runtime caster could be about +5.5 degrees. These units are probably just fine at highway speeds.

So, some RVs have a problem with wandering at highway speeds and some do not have a problem. JMO.

If too little caster exists, the car will wander and weave,
thus necessitating constant corrections in steering.
