Why the Instability?

We took a four hundred plus mile trip over the Thanksgiving weekend and encountered severe crosswinds. Even though we were pulling a sizable trailer, the RV (Windsport 27K) lunged across the solid center line by a foot or more. It was like someone lifted the front end and slid it sideways. The steering wheel didn't move much if any, since I was holding it with two hands. Generally winds or road conditions don't give me much trouble.

I understand that some owners are installing aftermarket equipment to help with such handling problems. My question is what is going on with the suspension or the steering that causes this unstable situation and how do these add-on components take care of the problem?
