First trip

Well after finally figuring out how most everything works, we are enjoying our stay at KOA South Haven, Michigan. Very nice and peaceful and friendly people. Beautiful area to go see.

How did it handle on the highway, any tendency to wander or the feeling of loose steering etc ?

Well I have never driven any other RV, but I thought it handled great except when it was windy. It would want to move around quite a bit during the wind gusts but other than that I did not have any issues at all with the steering. Semis did not affect it at all. Overall I would say it done pretty good. Way better than what I was expecting

If you are ever inclined to think differently, it has been reported, to improve handling, reduce the pressure in the front steer tires to the minimum required for the actual load + a few psi.

Ok, I will try that and see how it handles. Thank you for the advice

Nice! This is my favorite Redhawk floorplan! Glad to hear all is going well.

We really like our Greyhawk and it rides and drives so much better than our previous class A gas motorhome it's not even funny.

People on here complain about the Jayco Class C's handling...if they only knew!

Enjoy and safe travels!

Thank you very much cabinetmaker! I have really enjoyed myself on this trip. So relaxing. I am very pleased with everything so far with the Redhawk. Wish I didn't have to go back!
