What remedies for wind buffeting (side to side) on the road on my 2005 Magna 45 ft.
Thanks

I can confirm that with my small T28 Bounder, after several F53 handling suspension mod's, that the least expensive mod I made, helped quite a bit.
I had Airtabs painted to match the rig, and they made quite a bit of difference with both shifting/gusty winds, and the passing trucks.
That being said, I would think a 45' Magana, has a tag, and should not require much as much help.
Have you gone thru the basics of four corner weights, tire psi, ride heights set properly? Are they OEM shocks, and if so, are they in good shape? What about suspesion fittings getting old and ready for work? How about full allignment, and making sure the tag's are carrying their share of the load?
Airtabs are sometimes made fun of, called snake oil. Our rear end was cleaner, our toad was cleaner, and I felt more incontrol and comfortable in those normally stressful drving situations. I'm planning on adding painted to match Airtabs to our coach in the future.

Best of luck,
Smitty
