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.
