More confused about handling
#6

No facts to back it up, but think it is the combination of steering geometry, [fact that steering box is so far forward of axle with a lot of pieces to move for a reaction] air bag suspension, long wheelbase, and big tires with sidewalls made more for comfort that turning precision. 
I have had a couple of old class C's that steered better than any of the bus's I have had. 
Meet an old bus nut one time, and I asked him why the old intercity buses had such poor brakes, he told me Greyhound did not want the passengers falling out of their seats, if the driver jammed on the brakes.
