I am also a first time RV owner. I found the handling to be very challenging. To the point that I installed a sway bar and driver-assist rod (my words) after just one trip. This trip however was coming down a mtn. pass on a freeway. Lots of leaning, etc.

Now with about 1700 miles. I can attest that my two upgrades, plus yes more experience behind the wheel, made all the difference. So I highly recommend it. Especially for first time owner.
We took ownership of our 2021 Vegas 24.1 on 11/13/2021. We did our first walk through on 05/22/2021 and noticed the engine light was on. We have been waiting for a back ordered part from Ford all of this time. When we were signing papers the dealer told us there was a recall.
The first trip in my new Vegas was VERY frustrating. We took a two hour drive for our first outing. It took everything in me to keep this RV on the road. I was fussing the whole time. I could not believe a manufacturer would release a product so squirrelly and hard to handle. My back, shoulders, and neck muscles were in knots. It was later explained to me that this is part of the RV driving experience.
Oh but that 7.3 Liter Ford motor is the best thing I've ever driven. Powerful responsive throaty sounding smooth shifting and fast. 'Just perfect '
Other than the handling issue everything about this unit is amazing.
Just hope I have a better experience with highway driving our next time out.
