We have gone on a few small trips so far. Longest trip being about 4 hours & mostly driving on the interstate with semis trying to blow me off the road & me white knuckleing it & almost pooping myself a time or two. I have driven big box trucks before on long trips for my work & I have my chaffuers license. So been driving big trucks for a long time. My question is, what kind of upgrades can be made on the E-450 to make this thing easier to drive?
Had the same problem with a Class C Itasca Spirit. I had a front end alignment, put Steer Safe on (not Safe-T-Steer), and Air Lift. I could drive it with one finger after that. Before, like you, a semi would make me have to turn the wheel quick about one quarter to one half turn.

RV manufactures do not align or do anything about the chassis. Ford does do a proper alignment on the basic stripped chassis which is what is being purchased by the RV manufacture. So do not blame Ford for the changes caused by the box and weight added by your RV manufacture.
