How much play in the steering wheel is normal? We own a 2007 Sightseer. I really WANT to help my husband with the driving. I had done a bit of practice around town and felt very comfortable but this weekend was my first time on the actual freeway. At speeds of 50 mph I felt like I was constantly having to re-correct my steering to the point where I just wasn't comfortable on the freeway. Our old 1982 Southwind was like this but I expected a bit of improvement with a newer model. It feels like steering an old 80s truck with power steering that is really "loose" if that makes sense. I got to thinking maybe this is just the nature of driving a motorhome. It was windy but not super windy. As my husband was driving I could see he was having to constantly work the wheel as well even though he never complained about it. I was starting to feel a bit carsick today from the constant pull from one side to the other. There is no up and down bounce and doesn't feel like it's rolling so not sure if this would rule out improvement from sway bars or steering stabilizers. From reading here it sounds like checking our tire pressure again would be good. Any ideas, tips, commments? I have tried searching the forums here but am not coming up with our exact issue.
