Congratulations and welcome to the Forum. While we are not full-timers, we did downsize from a 37' Pace Arrow to a 2016 Vegas 25.3. We love the smaller size, as we are travelers more so than campers. The drivability and maneuverability of the 25.3 makes our travels so much more enjoyable.

For pleasurable riding and driving, I would suggest three things:

1. Get a front end alignment asap if you haven't already. It is not at all unusual for the front ends to be out of alignment even when brand new. Make sure you have at least 5 degrees of caster.

2. Get a Safe-T-Plus or other similar steering damper....this will eliminate much of the see-saw steering inherent in the factory setup.

3. Install heavy duty sway bars...this will eliminate much of the sway when turning and maneuvering, plus it eliminates much of the sway when you pass/are passed by semis.

There are several threads on here that address each of these suggestions.

I did all three at once, and it was like driving a completely different coach. I highly recommend.
