Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Hey there, thanks in advance for any input! So I've been shopping diesel pushers in my price range for a few months now and am getting close to pulling the trigger. I'm looking at an '06 Newmar Ventana w/Cummins 330 and an Allison 6. It's got 3 slides and only 25,000 miles. But on today's testdrive I felt a shimmy when I got it up to 65mph'ish. My dealer is sighting "tire pressure/wear" and is going to look at it. Are his explanations plausible? Do class A's require alignment attention like autos do?

yes they require alinements for sure, low tire pressure can cause shimmys, plus tires out of balance .At 25K miles tires should still be good tread wise but are aged out
if the tires are original they should be replaced because there 9-10 years old. I would have the dealer find the date codes on the tires and if original insist on all new tires
Agree with the above, most likely, tire balance, alignment, tire wear, or a combination of all three. If the tires are original they should really be should be changed out. As stated above TV tires age out before they wear out. To be safe, tires should be replaced every six to seven years regardless of looks.
