Steering

[Lmadsen]

How many have installed a steering stabilizer spring on your Class A motorhome and are you satisfied with its advertised performance?

Which motor home?
And yes I like it on my E450 class C

I don’t know how many have installed them but I have. I chose the Roadmaster over the SafeTSteer for my current class A coach but I have used both. I consider it essential safety kit. It DOES improve steering but more importantly I believe it provides significant safety enhancement in situations where sudden external steering changes occur. My epiphany came when one of my front tires dropped off the edge of the pavement (there was an oncoming inattentive driver on a narrow two lane road - not just me not paying attention!). There were a few moments where my future was in genuine doubt as I struggled to maintain control. The issue many people worry about is a steer axle tire blowout and that might do it as well. It’s a fairly straightforward DIY project if you can deal with a pretty heavily torqued inch and an eighth suspension nut and if you don’t mind an adjustment process that can be a bit of a fiddle. I did the CHF and added this device and I’m dry happy with my handling. I do t plan to do anything else.
