They know everything you need to know. One thing I am in the process of doing is adding front and rear sway bars and a steering stabilizer. The F53 is scary to drive in the wind or on narrow roads. One of the people I talked to when camping (he was in a Tiffin) had a Thor on the F53 and he said after he added those parts it was a completely different rig.

My shop is ordering the parts today. We have had nothing but gusty winds lately and it's hard for me to tell how much sway is due to the wind, and how much is the rig. I'm sure I look horrifying from the back, and on a big open road,I basically have been riding the rumble strip so people can pass me safely....can't wait to have the work done on the suspension..... I hope it improves my comfort level when driving, cuz it's been a horror the couple of times I have had it on 195....smaller highways don't seem to be so bad.
