MY NEW VEHICLE IS A CLASS A MOTORHOME. I HAVE MADE 3 TRIPS IN THE RV AND FIND IT VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS CONSTANT (WHITE KNUCKLE) DRIVING. LARGE PASSING TRUCKS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS THEY BLOW THE MOTORHOME ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FLEETWOOD MOTORHOME AND FORD CHASSIS ASSISTANCE. BOTH SEEM TO REFER ME TO THE OTHER. LAST CONTACT WITH FORD I WAS MORE OR LESS TOLD "IT IS WHAT IT IS." UPON RESEARCH OF MY ISSUES, I HAVE DISCOVERED AFTER-MARKET PARTS MAY CURE THIS PROBLEM. FLEETWOOD REPLIED BACK THEY ARE NOT ASSISTING ME WITH THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN KEEPING THE RV ON THE HIGHWAY.
