Quite the opposite ... more stable and less effected by external forces.
The downside to a couple more degrees of caster is that the steering gear box has to work harder to turn the wheels and RV life has minimal real turning involved. Part of why I say factory is more tuned for a delivery vehicle.
Emphasis on handling: The old gearbox steering is long overdue for replacement! Simple trac bar and adjustable swaybar like CHF but pre-set would be big steps to making an RV drive "right" when we get them. These would not compromise the other lines of chassis use either.
