On some roads it has similar effect as making springs stiffer, or increasing tire pressure. These motorhomes all require compromises, and balancing handling versus ride quality is one of them. On bad roads this becomes more of an issue.
The rear bar was added to help with the violent rocking when exiting driveways at low speeds and tilt when cornering. I came out of the storage lot and broke the bedroom door off the hinges. Side to side movement now is not bad.

Thank you.
