Good handling 3100

I just wanted to report that the handling of my Phoenix 3100 is very good. It is a 2010 that I bought used.  I believe it is all stock as delivered from the factory except I removed a 1" spacer From the left rear spring and had the front end aligned with a 6 degree castor setting. I suspect the difference in handling  from the shorter units is primarily due to the longer wheelbase.I have owned 4 motorhomes based on the E450 Ford chassis and have been very satisfied  with the overall performance and the build quality of my Phoenix, it is the best to date. 

Glad to hear of your good experience.  I have been reluctant to report the same good experience for our 3100 after reading all of the posts about handling problems and posts about adding accessories to improve handling.  We bought our model 3100 new in 2011.  We have never added any accessories to improve handling and never experienced any handling problems.  A little push from big rigs on the interstate occasionally, but I had that with our previous Class A.  We tow a Chevy HHR and rarely know it’s there.  Perhaps the extra wheel length and having just the one slide are factors in the good handling.

Our 2552 handled very well from the factory. Didn't do a thing to it because it didn't need a thing.

X3. The only thing that we had done to our 2910 is the alignment. We have had no handling issues. We tow a Honda Fit and hardly know that it is there.

Ditto to what gradygal says.  We have a 2551 and only did an alignment.  Tow a Chevy cavalier without knowing it is there.  No handling issues for us!

I must say I enjoy driving my 3100 very much and I do think the longer wheelbase makes a huge difference in handling, at least as compared to the 2551 I had.  I do most work myself so I did add all of the bells and whistles like Bilstiens, front and rear Hellwig stabilizer bars and new Raodmaster steering stabilizer.  I wish I could say I noticed a "huge" difference but I can not.  The coach goes into a corner with absolutely no body roll,  I feel minimal truck draft, I get zero nose diving with heavy braking and the coach goes down the road dead straight.  Towing my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk  has no influence on the vehicles handling.  Was it worth what I invested ..."yes"  because it made for a safer vehicle, was it unsafe from the factory...no.  The only issue I have is I do think the ride is rough, I run 70 PSI in the front and 75 PSI in the rear, with out the fuel and water tanks full she can be very harsh on secondary roads.  The E-450 is one tough chassis.   Thanks, Ron G.
