Christopher,

What kind of behavior did you experience? What were the road conditions,
speed, etc? What kind of tires (sidewalls etc).

As you may know, GMCs are generally sensitive to ruts in the road. I
describe hitting a rut that creates a problems as being "launched" because
that's how it always felt to me. The problem is generally attributable to
the coach having different track widths for the front and rear tires.

There's a lot that can be done to tame the problem. But first, it's a good
idea to make certain that there isn't another problem lurking.
