Hi All,

As an update, we took our RV camping the past week, after the front wheel alignment . the vehicle definitely handles a lot better, I still think XPS rib was better, but this is much better. Thank you everyone for all your suggestions and help. :D

The tire design is a huge factor. I had Goodyear original tires on my 32 Birn Free President. As they were 10 years old, even tho showing no deterioration, I replaced them with Chinese Hercules tires. I immediately noticed that it was necessary to steer more actively as the coach did not steer as true. So now I may have to buy new front tires again. Tires for some coaches are designated as steering tires or other positions. It might be wise to buy tires specifically designed for the steering axle for any Born Free.
