I have gotten it weighed and at this time there is nothing in it except a full tank of gasoline and propane. It weighs 17,600.The steering issue I referred to seems to be swaying on turns and curves and more play in the steering wheel than I am used to. There are no airbags front or rear. Tire are new Toyo 245x19.5 and tire pressure is 80psi rear and 65 psi front. Thanks everyone for your input. I have also posted a new entry regarding engine cover removal. I see from previous posts on this subject that poster never indicated that it was resolved. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Are those the pressures reccomended by Toyo to support the weight that is actually on the front and rear axels at this time? When I checked Toyo's inflation chart on their web site (see:
http://www.toyo.com/docs/tirebasics/rvcareanduse.asp# ), the minimum tire pressure listed for their 245x19.5 tires in RV use was 80 psi not 65 psi.
The 80 psi pressure you have on the rears seems to be to support a load of 13,660 lbs while the fronts at 65 psi (even though not listed on the charts) seem to be inflated for around a 5,500 lb load. What were the actual axel weights?
On the Ford chassis the max weights would be 7,000 lbs front and 13,500 lbs rear. That would be according to the brochure at:

Anyways get it loaded the way you would travel with it, get it weighed, check the tire charts and then inflate accordingly keeping the loading within the allowable axel weights for your chassis keeping the load balance foward of the rear axel so the front end won't be too light and give you steering problems. Then with it still loaded the way you will have it when you travel get a chassis and headlight alignment.
If the headlights seem too dull after this then consider a headlamp upgrade.
