Hi, as a new member and new to me 74 GMC owner I would like to ask for input on the driveability issue I detected when getting this old girl home. Prior to getting on the road I made sure the air ride was in the travel mode and that the unit looked level, aired up all tires to 60 lbs ( has 16.5 wheels and tires). On the drive I noticed that if you slipped off the side of the pavement no matter how slightly it would act like it wanted to stay there with the rear wheels. I've never encountered this with any previous class C motorhomes. What would cause this instability problem and what should I look for to make this thing drive like a motorhome straight down the road without worrying about the overcorrecting needed? I don't usually move off the pavement but the motorhome seemed wider or a wider track than what I had previously driven. My son was following me in my pickup and made comments later about my driving..lol...He said he would stay closer to the centerline and the other vehicles could get over..lol So all suggestions as to where to start and any previous encounters by other owners would be appreciated.
