Hello Everyone:
I have a Thor diesel palazzo 33.4 where the wandering above 50 mph becomes tiresome and annoying. I can only drive 1.5 hours or so and I have to take a break. It constantly requires minute steering corrections / nothing as bad as a gas motor home, however it is tiring. I cannot take my eyes of the road for more than 2 seconds of it may be in a slight drift.
I am hoping someone (a mechanic) may be at the Diesel Club Rally in October and shed some light on the issue.

History:
I bought the motor home used and to date have spent around $3,500++ on steering improvements. None of the improvements have made any difference in handling. I do like the motor home and maintenance cost has been as expected.

Improvements:
-Installed supersteer motion control devices for the airbags
-Motor home has the heavier sway bars installed on the fruehauf chassis
-Front end aligned (was at factory specs)
-Installed bilstein shocks
-Checked to see if air bag height could be increased (no)
-Installed road master steering stabilizer
-Had front end re aligned and had 8% caster put in axle (more caster reduces drift)
-Mechanic recommended Michelin tires (It had them)
-100 psi front / 110 psi rear
-Makes no difference whether im pulling a toad (5500 lb Durango) or not.

I read posts where members get gas RV’s to drive like a dream...

What am I missing?

Stumped !!!
