My Freedom Elite had a distinct lean to the driver’s side that only got more pronounced with the bedroom slide out. My trusted truck shop was pretty adamant that it was only an appearance issue with no impact on handling. It’s just the angle of the box on the chassis. However, he said it’s an easy fix. He proposed adding a small helper spring on the driver’s side for about $150 or he could add a spacer on the existing. It’s caused by being heavier on one side and so obviously the correction won’t change the actual weight distribution just the angle of the box on the chassis. In the end I decided to not worry about it and lived with it to the end of its days. I have since noticed that many RVs and trucks on the road lean. I’d just never noticed until I had my own issue.
