I feel your pain. Took a test drive in our Winnebago Cambria on a calm day and thought it drove pretty well. Took it home on a windy day and couldn't keep it in my lane, and I wondered how a manufacturer could even allow these on the road. We are currently updating our Chevy 3500 & 4500 offering so I am going to recommend you get in touch with supersteer.com who we work with to get your motorhome dialed in. But here is what I found worked to make driving my Class C much better. I do recommend test driving in bad conditions as you make improvements, so you're spending money on something that does not deliver the desired result. I will aslo mention you will never make a Class C a pleasure to drive in windy conditions but you can make it bearable.
-
Weigh it (CAT scale) and set tire pressures based on axle weights (many dealers overinflate the tires, and the RV rides like a brick).
-
Take it to an alignment shop - most of these chassis are aligned before they put the RV on the chassis and it is way off
-
Rear trac bar - most do not have them and it makes a huge difference. I would say the best upgrade with the biggest improvement. It keeps the back end from moving from side to side which help keep the RV in your lane.
-
Larger rear sway bar - the sway bars from the factory are to small and they allow the RV to tip giving you a very unsettling feeling when you're hit with side winds or cornering
-
Front sway bar. - Usually, the back end does the trick, but if you are still having issues, look into upgrading the front as well.
-
Shocks. - The stock shocks are horrible. I found Koni's will give you a controlled but plush feeling ride, Bilsteins I found give a much stiffer ride.
-
SumoSprings (or airbags), most models have them, but if yours doesn't, this will help with sagging/bottoming, usually not an issue on the shorter RVs.
-
Steering stabilizer if you still feel constant steering correction. Most have them from the factory but they do make better ones.
