Need some advice
I understood the 'parallel to the ground rule' was to keep inerta
force of the toad from pushing the ass of the motorhome farther up in the air then the natural reaction of braking. It also keeps acceleration from 'picking up' or 'pulling down' on the front end of a toad at rest. I have seen toads with bungie cords on the steering. I wonder if there is a chance that the bungie force could get set off center and the wheels will run untrue when your bus is center/true. Or if you pass 180 degree on the steer-wheel, you cam past a return to true/center????? I would tie a rope that limits the turning of the steering wheel to less than 180 deg.(or prior to the point a sharp right turn make a recenter unatainable) At center/true the rope would be relaxed and the caster reaction will have no opposing forces. but the tires would skid on sharp turns if more than a 180degree steering wheel turn was naturaly required. Some times The best mod is a a ForSale sign.
