No but folks think that suspension upgrades can. Just ask all the self proclaimed experts.

Get a good front end alignment first. That will more than likely help.
There is no absolute cure to help driving a BOX in the wind.

The OP stated in 2016:
We purchased a pre-owned 2017 Axis 24.1.


Then in 2018 asked (and was answered) similar to this thread:
Wind Control

I had the Safe T Plus steering stabilizer installed and it has helped a lot while driving.

We have put 10,000 miles on our 24.1 E350 Axis. No upgrades. Most of that one handed smooth driving. On three occasions my hands were darting back and forth during strong cross winds, just keeping us on the road, at 65mph. When the road turned 90 degrees, wind behind us, one handed driving again.
Am I right that Safe-T-Plus or Hellwig anti sway bar would help in these rare (for us) events? Only seems to happen in the open plains...Indiana, Michigan peninsula...and not on our trips through east coast.

Safe T Plus if installed properly is and IMMEDIATE 24/7 improvement. 1st Change I made, never thought of it to mitigate wind, but I am sure it does indirectly. The Safe T Plus just makes it easier to keep straight in my opinion. It is a mandatory MOD IMO. Other systems may do similar, but I have no 1st hand knowledge of them.

The Sumo Springs help me more with control or bounce when being passed by a big truck and when turning sharply on city driving, in and out of parking lots etc. Cross winds are the only thing I feel if over 20 mph wind, I may not drive. I don't put my boat on the lake at 15 mph winds. Even though the Sumo Springs worked, I felt the Springs were way overpriced. Dollar for Dollar it is the worst return for any mod that I have made. I am glad I have them, but if I had a new RV, it would be one of the last Mods I would make if I made it all just do the crazy price they charge.

I can't see slowing slowing a few miles for wind.... I don't slow down for anything but traffic, yellow curve warnings, school zones, red lights and stop signs.

Get your RV a set of Sumo Springs and maybe an upgraded sway bar in the rear. Worked wonders on my Thor Citation, not only with wind and passing big rigs but while making turns on uneven pavement.

Everybody is speaking into the wind. The OP has not been back since the minute the post was made, to read any responses.

Guess it turned into a howdy post huh?
