Granted he made some upgrades, but the problem should have never been as severe as described in the first place. This suggests to me a problem with motorhome is more likely than with Jeep.

This is an interesting discussion. Hope the OP responds to some of the questions posted.

I think towing the jeep may exacerbate the issue if the jeep has been modded. There is an issue with jeeps that have been lifted, generally 3.5 inches or more called bumpsteer, where the steering jumps and wanders when a bump is hit. If this is happening it may moving his MH front end enough to address part of his problem. If no mods have been done, the jeep should be towing properly other than the potential wheelbase issues addressed above.

I'd be interested in hearing a further description of the "jumping" vs. "swaying" the OP mentions.
