Note: we have since learned this incident has been characterized as "the death wobble" as follows: this occurred on our first "shakedown" (pun intended) trip of 300 miles taken in a new 29 ft coachmen mirada (leftover 2011 model) class a motorhome W/F53 chasis which was manufactured by ford in oct 2008. its noteworthy that, initially, a slight shutter in coach body could be felt when highway driving over minor bumps or surface discontinuities. after driving 200 miles, we drove at 55 mph over a highway bridge expansion joint - kind of a quick double bump, which set off an extremely violent rapid shaking of the entire coach resulting in difficult steering and a harrowing experience. thankfully, there was limited traffic, traveling in right lane, and room on shoulder to pull over. this violent shaking continued until < 5 mph. checked tires and under chasis - all seemed ok. continued driving home to complete the balance of trip, avoiding as many bumps as possible, and with no further incident. rv IS currently at a ford service shop for inspection and resolution. this was a very unsafe condition, and could easily have resulted in a major traffic incident, especially if there was heavy traffic and limited room to pull over. *tr updated 11/25/13
