We have a 30' ACE (F-53 chassis) that had all the handling issues endemic to this type MH. Installed Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer primarily for safety (e.g., tire blow out) reasons and then had a comprehensive alignment by a truck (vs. RV) shop. Handling was still an issue; therefore, I installed Roadmaster Front & Rear anti-sway bars (front replaces OEM with slightly larger -- rear supplements OEM), which resulted in considerable improvement as evidenced on 4400 mile round trip to CA during which I had no problems with side wind gusts nor passing semis (have to admit I was gaining additional experience with the MH along the way). Being anal, I next installed SumoSprings on the front (primarily to dampen rough ride) and SuperSprings on the rear. Handling is still not car-like but quite good now considering a 12' high, 30' long box doing 65 +/- MPH on poorly maintained interstates.
