Bumper Guides ????

[hamerjk]

Dose anyone use these? I also was wondering if they help you to stay centered in your Lane? Not sure since being a newbee to class c motorhome driving. Looking for any help besides just looking in your mirror's to stay in your Lane. I sure hope there is a real simple solution to this.

Hmmmm.......Keep the center of the hood in the center of the road / lane. The ONLY way to "learn" how to keep your rig centered in "your lane" is to go for a long long long drive, and keep driving until you feel comfortable behind the wheel. I don't think there are any magic fixes here. No disrespect intended.

How does your rig drive? Have you thought about upgrades to steering and suspension or an alignment?

A lot of us have experienced the wandering and have done some relatively simple upgrades to mitigate the problem along with a positive caster adjustment.

Of course, all of that won't help you know how big your rig is or how to keep it in the lane (that'll come with experience), but at least outside factors like wind or a bumpy road, or a wandering rig won't be exacerbating the situation.

Before I upgraded to a steering stabilizer and a bigger sway bar, my rig could all but change lanes on its own. Staying in my lane, especially in a narrow-lane construction zone with those cement barricades, became quite the white knuckle experience. Things are MUCH better now and I can stay in my lane easily.

Thank you for your response and help.

To me those bump guides are nice for making tight turns in tight locations, so you dont bump into something.
