    Rocking

    I am new to the class A world. I have a 2017 Thor Miramar 35.2. It sways considerably in winds and when trucks are passing. My thoughts are to add a sway bar. My question is should I put on front, back, or both?

    Sway When Level

    Is it normal for the 2022 Berkshire XLT 45CA to sway/rock a bit when level? Whenever one of my kids roll over in bed or someone comes in/out of the coach I can feel the coach sway/rock a bit when laying in bed, sitting down etc. Is this normal?

    Helwig sway as standard in 2023?

    I have been searching brochures, reviews and the forum and can find no mention of Helwig sway bars on the 2023 Isata 3. Is this still a standard, or did I read somewhere that MB started incorporating them as their standard?
