Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-5/8" Diameter
I installed the Rear sway bar, Front sway bar, the steering shock and also installed a trac-bar on the rear end of a 24000 GVW class A hoping to stop the white knuckle rides. I noticed a difference in the handling right away. I recently took a 1000 mile trip from PA to Florida (it was my first trip since the upgrades) I'm glad I made the decision to do so. I drove the first day for 16 hours, I was tired but not exhausted. Stayed over night in a rest stop and got up the next morning and drove two hours to my destination. It doesn't completely stop the sway and the wind blowing you around but it puts a damper on it enough that your not tense the whole trip. You still feel the gusts of wind and trucks passing you but at least you stay in your lane now. The MPH has a lot to do with it. At 65 and below there is a huge difference. I like to run the speed limit or a couple clicks over, which on most interstates the limit is 70, That's when I noticed the same characteristics start to show up as the stock chassis set up. It's still an improvement over stock and again I'm glad I decided to spend the money for the upgrades.
I have a 2015 Tiffin 31 SA. I added Both front and rear Roadmaster sway bars. The difference was day and night the way the coach handled! I will ad that I also added Sumo springs front and back and also Steersafe. I ordered the sway bars on Sunday and they arrived Thur as promised undamaged. etrailer videos were a big timesaver as well as money. I installed the sway bars with the help of my 2 sons in less than 2 hours! I would not hesitate using etrailer in the future.

Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar - 1-3/4" Diameter
With the RM-1139-148 rear sway bar installed it definitely handles better than the stock chassis. However when you get up over 65 MPH it starts to give you the same characteristics of the stock chassis just not as bad. I'm glad I installed it because even over 65 It's still better than stock.
The group at etrailer are absolutely great. UPS lost my order out of the box and delivered me an empty box. Called in to etrailer and they took care of the claim with UPS empty box was delivered on Wednesday I had a replacement on Saturday. Totally a five star service

Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes
First, I did have to grind off corner of the plate that mounts under leaf spring bolts. It would not lay flush so I tapered one of the edges where it met the axel a little bit till it laid flush. I did buy a 3/4 inch wrench set but with an rv, it's good to have and will possible allow me to get the 22.5 inch wheels off in an emergency. This with a good solid 3' pipe and I was able to fairly easily break the leaf spring bolts free. I used boards to ensure the fronts tires were fairly straight, laying them alongside the tires and eyeballing to see where they lined up with the back tires which are about 4 inches wider than the front outside width. I mounted the steering stabilizer and took it for a test drive and it was good the first time, no additional adjustments needed. Feels good on the road, good around turns, and even at low speeds around the driveway, I did not notice any extra effort to turn the wheel due to the heavy spring on the stabalizer. Put about 75 miles on it and it feels solid and stable though no high winds or passing semi trucks yet. But my 2007 ford f53 22000 lb chassis under a holiday rambler admiral body has always felt pretty good. Just trying to make better, next up is the new koni evo fsd heavy duty shocks coming today.
I have a class A motorhome, F53. I installed a Roadmaster reflex steering stabilizer, a Roadmaster rear anti-sway bar 1 3/4" diameter, 4 new koni shocks and 6 new tires. Now, it feels well planted on the road. Its a combination. Very happy !

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-1/2" Diameter
The anti sway bar helped a lot, but my Fleetwood could use a little more help. Probably needs the front end too. I installed the model made for coaches a year or two newer and it went on much easier than the unit requiring frame drilling and coil spring recounting. I ordered both to cover myself, didn't open the kit for older chassis and sent it back - for full credit, except for shipping, which is fair. Trailer met each promise - product, dates, and return of the unused unit. 5 stars for service 3 stars for eliminating the sway. ETrailer provided EXCELLENT videos for installation, and did everything they said they would! My wife is happy and I'm her hero. That's always worth 5 stars!
I spoke with Jameson, he understood my issues and recommended 2 stabilizer bars. They were delived on a tight time-frame. These ba4s made all the difference in the handling of my Newmar Baystar Sport. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE!!

Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes
I found this easy to install however the bracket to hold it onto the steering rod kept slipping. NOT a good bracket design. In addition, the stabilizer only improved the "wondering" by about 30%.
Nick S was GREAT help. He helped me with the right stabilizer for my motor home and had it shipped the very same day. Stabilizer was installed with very little effort and it is making quite a difference in my ability to steer the motor home. I will definitely recommend etrailer to my friends.

Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes
Easy installation took me less than 40 minutes from start to finish. Test drive was a “remarkable” difference than before.
The hardest part is getting the U-boats off and back on again with 250 pounds of torque took me about an hour and I’m 73 years old so I think anybody could do it. We took it out for a test drive and it makes a big difference with the wheel coming back to center, even my wife found it easier to drive. There is know more drifting.

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-3/4" Diameter
Have only taken a short test drive . But seems better not as much rocking side to side ! Would have been better as far as shipping goes , if the grease was in something else so it did not get broken open ? It gets on everything including the instructions !
Best thing I have done to improve the driving and handling of our RV. Thanks to ETRAILER for helping me get the right parts and their professional support helping me return the wrong part I ordered.

Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar and TruTrac Rod Kit - 1-5/8" Diameter
The good is that the parts are first class, and it works very well. Even being mechanically inclined, the directions could use an upgrade. Needs more help where the spaces go.
I installed these anti-sway bars front and rear because I was fighting crosswinds and passing semi-trucks, very exhausting driving. Made a huge difference. Our old Newmar (Workhorse) had no sway bars at all.

Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar - 1-5/8" Diameter
Usual excellent service— sway bar delivered on schedule. I’m in the process of installing the front swaybar for my Bounder and I will update once install.
After a year of usage, I couldn't be happier with the Roadmaster front and rear anti-sway bar kits. The rear kit for my W22 chassy, the mounting hardward would not fit properly. I call Roadmaster directly and they custom built the mounts, painted, and shipped within days.

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-3/4" Diameter
The kit arrived in about 3 days and was complete. I installed this myself as I am pretty handy. Hardest part was getting to where the brackets attached to the frame for drilling. There was also a junction box of some sort that I had to loosen to access the holes to put in the bolts. Other than that, it was pretty straight forward as far as installation. If you're not mechanically inclined. I would suggest having it installed. It does make a huge improvement as far as tail wag and uneven pavement are concerned. I will be installing to front anti sway bars in the next month.
I submistted a review for both front and rear kits. Both etrailer and Roadmaster are great companies to purchase products. Roadmaster made custom parts and sent them within days.

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-1/2" Diameter
Made a world of difference especially in wind and passing or being passed by large trucks. If you're a handy person you can install it yourself in a couple hours. I did, in the driveway.
I didn’t realize our motorhome had an OEM sway bar already installed which was left in place. Etrailer selected one for us that was heavier and more appropriate for our unit. Instructions were a bit to be desired but once installed made a world of difference. Their staff is very knowledgeable and didn’t try to sell me more than I needed. Thank you Etrailer.

Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer for Class A Motor Homes
Out of everything installed on my class A 24000 GVW coach, I feel this one had the most impact. I installed the rear sway bar, front sway bar and this steering shock. The stability in the steering was very noticeable. It seemed to help keep the coach in the lane when being passed by a truck or from a gust of wind. You still feel the push and pull in those situations but it's not as bad. I found myself not being as tense while driving with the upgrades installed.
No issues. Significantly helps steering.

Finished installing somo springs and rear antiswaybar couple of days ago. Products seem to be of excellent quality and installation was relatively easy. Have not been able to get out on the road due to Covid-19 but hopefully will be able to travel in a couple of weeks.
Installed roadmaster anti sway bar on 2005 Fleetwood Southwind. Easy install works great, drives much better. Already have a track bar and a roadmaster front sway bar. Thanks for the quick shipping

Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes
Excellent setup, road manners are so much better. I don't have to work to keep the truck straight anymore. Installed in less than an hour with just a few basic tools.
This stabilizer made my truck much safer to drive. When pulling a trailer, the truck was difficult to handle. Any line or imperfection in the pavement would lead the truck around and cause it to sway. It now handles much better.

Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer
Hey RV'rs.... I upgraded from the Roadmaster stabilizer and the difference was phenomenal... Prince Edward county to Key West with minimal steering correcting
This exact center steering stabilizer is excellent. Takes a bit of driving to get used to it but does what it says.

Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes
4 stars based on lack of info and nonease of install. The videos listed here are of professionals with lifts. Ya…..try doing the install on the ground or in gravel, where I bet a lot of motorhomes exist. Anyways it is pretty simple to install but while laying on the ground twisted up try torquing that down! Not fun. I did the “fine” adjustments after install. Uh….couldn’t find the one out of 20+ videos I stumbled upon where a guy said “twist this way and go right….twist this way and go left”. After 6! Crawls under the stupid motorhome it eventually got worse after every adjustment I did. And believe me when I say FINE adjustments. 1/8 of an inch will send you’re steering the complete opposite direction. So to fix this nightmare, I uninstalled the bar mount on drivers side and reinstalled while my wife forced the steering wheel to go where it needed to go. Now I can go in an almost straight line at slow speed. Not sure what it’ll do when I get on the freeway….but I’m sure it won’t let me go careening into another lane like it did before this install….so thanks etrailer!
I'm torn about how this is working for me. I know it was difficult for the installers...very. It certainly keeps my motor home centered, but is also harder to steer otherwise. I installed this and a rear anti-sway bar at the same time.

Roadmaster TruTrac Front-Axle Trac Rod for Large Trucks and RVs
Haven’t driven RV yet, front axle track rod installed easy and feels heavy duty, can’t wait to take it for a ride. Highly recommend etrailer for parts and their service
If you have an gas motorhome this is one of the best investments you can make. I opted for front and rear trac bars along with new shocks . What a world of difference. Absolutely not pushed by wind or passing trucks. After traveling over the country’s really bad roads we had sumo springs installed. They help but the trac bars were by far a better improvement. We traveled 12,000 miles this summer plus 5,000 in a tow car. We crossed the great divide a half dozen times. All with confidence in a 2005 model fleetwood. I couldn’t imagine trying to drive that trip with the original equipment.

Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes
2010 33' Thor Hurricane Had to modify one mounting bracket { no problem} bolted on and totally improved handling. Priced right works great.
Exactly what I needed to replace a weak and failing steering damper on our f-53 chassis Bounder RV. Very easy to install and makes a huge difference in handling.
# 20
Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes
Get one, you won't be sorry. I traveled 7250 miles around the US this past summer and the stabilizer performed perfectly keeping the RV from drifting out of lane. This makes driving so much easier. Even in wind gusts the stabilizer was a tremendous aid controlling the RV from lurching left or right. I believe its a good investment.
This is the best item I have ever bought. Totally changed the motorhome steering. Now it’s very easy to drive and steer. Can drive using one hand used to. Love the steering stabilizer.
Top 2016 Tiffin Allegro Motorhome Options on Sway Bars
Hey everyone, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2016 Tiffin Allegro motor home, we're gonna be taking a look at our best sway bar options. When it comes to motor homes, a lot of people really aren't satisfied with, you know, how they perform in terms of driving it down the road. The suspension's kinda all over the place. The steering's usually sloppy and these are just a big brick, more or less going down the road and really top heavy, they catch wind. And so a lot of people, you know, they get fatigued trying to handle this thing.
What our customers are saying:
"very easy to shop"
