It sounds to me like you're experiencing vehicle sway on your RV.

To remedy this, I recommend installing a steering stabilizer like # RM82RR, and you can use the rear anti-sway bar like # RM83ZR to combat body roll.

If you let me know what RV you have, I can help pick out the correct kits for you.
