I am trying to find something to improve the handling of my Thor Hurricane 31s. At highway speeds, 55+, it tends to wander in the lane and is pushed around by crosswinds and passing semis. Regarding the highway speed: typically the higher the speed the worse the handling. A note on that, I don't like to go over 65 mph, mainly as a mileage consideration. I have been researching stabilizers, track bars, etc... on the internet and various Forums such as the this forum (probably the best IMHO), the RVUSA Forum, Thor Forum, iRV2 Forum, Camping World/Good Sam plus reading about Super Steer, Roadmaster, Blue-Ox, Safe T Steer, and various Ford F53 with a Class A solutions. What I have discovered is that the solutions, advice, and recommendations run the gamut from minor to major. Some say lower the tire pressure below the recommended or raise the tire pressure to 110 psi, the tire rims are too narrow, get different tires, add shocks or air bags, a steering stabilizer will fix it, or maybe not, a rear track bar is needed, a front track bar is needed, a front or rear track bar won't help. Also there is discussion about how the F53 was not designed to be used for motorhomes, Thor under designs their units, Essentially the information is confusing and frustrating. Are there any owners that have had success with some of the after market solutions? I realize that a person has to pay for good results but there has to be a reasonable, cost effective solution.
