I also added the Safe-T-Plus, which helped a bit more. I was going to add sway bars, but a dealer said they would only incrementally improve what I already had. Then I did something that transformed the RV into a rock-steady, easy-to-drive rig: I let air out of the tires. I now run 75 psi in the front and 72 psi in the rear. The difference is dramatic. I can drive one-handed and hardly notice when someone passes me. In moderate crosswinds I look at trees and flags to verify that, yes, that light pressure in the steering wheel is due to the wind. My TireMinder sensors showed there was no noticeable change in the tire temperatures caused by the lower pressures.

Interesting, I picked mine up filled to 75psi and have left them there so maybe that is the secret? As I have stated mine has always performed well but I think there is room for improvement. Just trying to gather info before I make any decisions. People here really like the Safe-T-Plus but etrailer does not sell it and I think the one they sell, the name escapes me at this time, will do the job. When I spoke with them they recommended something other than anti-sway bars so still investigating.
