Granted the Safe-t-plus is supposed to help in the event of a front tire blow out and I hope I never find out if it does. I did install a TPMS so I can hopefully proactively prevent a blow out. Overall, I still feel that driving the coach can be a white knuckle experience but I have come to terms with that and get more confident as I drive. One thing I cannot change is the poor condition of the roads which seem to have a much bigger impact on a motorhome and can also make for a frustrating driving experience.


Thanks. That is helpful. I have put steering stabilizers on every coach I’ve owned to help with emergencies. A blowout is far less likely than dropping a front wheel off the road. Happened to me with an oncoming car with an inattentive driver on a narrow road before I installed. It was briefly terrifying. Don’t know if the steering stabilizer will help much but it certainly is worth a try!
