Juan,

I have spent a lot of time fooling with the suspension/front end of coaches trying to get them to handle like BMWs. Many of the gurus are secretly and perversely entertained by my OCD behavior on steering.

Since this is your first coach, you probably don't have any reference point to determine if you have really bad handling or that's as good as it gets.

I live close enough for a day trip. We should get together after the holidays, and let me take a ride with you. It might help you to determine what needs to be done to the front end.

You are ABSOLUTELY right, I've been thinking about this on the trip to Camp Gulf (Destin) we took this weekend. I think I've had a lot of wind and nervousness when I drove it home for the first time because this time it wasn't as bad as I remembered, now I have 18 wheeler's pass right next to me and I don't feel that I have to move the coach at all   I would LOVE to take you on that offer, that will confirm my suspicions

My wife took a course from Foretravel and they recommended ACCELERATING when a blowout occurs (like you are going to remember to do that as you are panicking). 

Exactly!

I can tell you from first hand experience that a front blow out makes the handling feel very loose - braking makes it exponentially worse. Accelerating reduces the effects more than anything else you can do.
You only accelerate for a few seconds to regain a sense of what is happening & get back in control of the direction you are going. As you ease off the accelerator, you will notice that you have to add a LOT more correction to the steering wheel than you would have ever imagined. As you back off the throttle, you should get a feel of how slowly to apply the brakes.

If ever in that situation I hope I can remember to do this. I really do.

I installed one on another brand of motorhome. It did not help the handling. It did mute the effort and feel at the steering wheel. I removed it after a short time.

I had the same experience on my 1989 Vogue (Crown Bus Chassis).  I also removed it after a couple months.

Thanks for sharing your experience as well.
