The RV got a universal tow car and anti sway system & steering stabilizer. The RV rides like a dream! +THANK YOU ROADMASTER, INC music by: / joakimkarud
I had a 2009 Fleetwood 35 H. I put these on and it did help. But just a bit. Still had major issues on interstates and especially with cross winds. Take a look at Timbrines or Sumo. Both front and rear. Talking to a guy at a campground and he had the same 35H. He had either Timbrines or Sumo springs installed and problem solved. I ended up selling the Fleetwood and went into a small couples trailer. I had Timbrines installed on the rear of my 1/2 ton and couldn’t be happier.
2 more things to add. Sumo springs and a rear trak bar. And to finish it off upgraded shocks! With everything done it will almost ride like a DP. The F53 is a universal chassis. It’s designed for delivery trucks that may not weigh over 12k lbs where all the weight is stacked on the floor. And then for RV’s that weigh 20-26klbs that are top heavy. So the stock stuff is not any where near enough for RV use!
Well well well , looks like I’m going to add a few more upgrades to my rig , I couldn’t agree more with you on the driving fatigue , getting blown side to side and rocking back and forth. Those were big turn offs when driving this beast down the road! Thank you for the great video!
We just bought a 2004 forest river Georgetown and took it on our first outing last weekend on a 2 Lane Highway to go to and OHV Park to have fun and that was one scary ride. The wind happened to be blowing that day and we were going across the Prairie in north eastern Oregon and it buffeted us all over the place. So after watching this video we will be putting on The front and rear stabilizer bars and the steering assist. Thank you so much for your video, we don’t understand why factories don’t already incorporate these very necessary parts on their motor coaches.
I have a 2005 Itasca with W22chassis, 8.1 gas that needs a rear upgrade. This is My 1st Class A, but former owner included a rear road master sway bar uninstalled. It's a bit different with longer U-bolts to replace shorter rear bolts to axel. I Do have to drill four holes but seems to be a sturdier set up when done, we'll see. Am hoping I can do it without raising the duals and help. Good vid to show approximate idea for me.
We love these informative/review videos. Even though, for now, we are only "wannabes" we always take notes! Thanks to you and thanks to RoadMaster! This was awesome!!!!
I just took my bushings off and greased them since they were noisy. factory never bothered to apply grease. I put koni shocks on a F53 chassis and it made a huge improvement with wind and smooth ride. Must quieter inside too.
My truck and camper does the same thing when trucks pass me. I really hate it. The camper is so big and lite the sway nar does nothing. Awesome upgrade.
I drive a highway tractor trailer combo with the trailer being 53 feet in length. I was on the freeway with my buddy following going out to get a load. As I was passing an RV, my buddy yelled at me on the radio to look in the mirror. I looked back and saw a frame with glass shattering against the side of my trailer. My buddy said as I went by the RV that my rig had sucked the window out of the RV and it had blown over to my trailer, shattering it. The guy in the RV never even noticed as he didn't slow down or indicate what had happened.

That service rep did a great job.
Man that's one of the best videos I've seen that describes the problem and the fix. Great job.

Bought the RM steering stab. Glad I saw this to help me install it!

Love their products. I'm sure they save lives! We bought front steering stabilizer for our 1988 P30 Winn.
Great video, thanks. Really liked the input from the tech and sales guys.
Summo springs and Air Tabs. Took care of everything on my 1999 F53. Can drive 8 -12 hours with very little fatigue.
Great VIDEO!!!
Dude. Thank you for this video this was exactly what I was looking for in your explanation and coverage was amazing
PS LOVED the factory tour and LOVED they are made in the USA!!!! Woooo Hoooo!!!! Sooo cool!

Good video. Josh is a great mechanic. He really knows his 💩(stuff)😁. Give your beautiful family my love.😊❤🐾
Thinking of doing these upgrades to my own RV (2006 Gulfstream Yellowstone).
My truck and camper does the same thing when trucks pass me. I really hate it. The camper is so big and lite the sway nar does nothing. Awesome upgrade.
