I haven’t installed either yet on my current rig, but I have had a steering damper on my 4x4 Winnebago Brave (yes, we converted a 79, she was a beast) and the steering stabilizers on a Class C 4x4 Quigley converted RV.

The damper is just that, a steering damper (basically a shock absorber).
The steering stabilizers (Safe-T-Plus, Roadmaster, etc.) has the absorber, PLUS opposing springs to obtain a return to center. So, the steering stabilizer does double duty. Therefore, in some cases it’s considered a much superior product.

The Steering stabilizers with opposing springs will do a much better job of preventing loss of steering control during a blow out, hitting a pothole and/or running off, or returning to, the pavement.

I didn’t beat a horse, and no animals we hurt in my testing…. Well except for that critter crossing the road and someone’s feelings once…
