I installed both Roadmaster sway bars and a steering stabilizer. The sway bars helped control side sway and rocking of the coach considerably but I think the steering stabilizer helped maintain control more from passing vehicles and cross winds. The stabilizer is much more than just a shock absorber as it is spring loaded to help keep the wheel centered. If I were to do it again, I would probably start with the Roadmaster steering stabilizer. Following is the order I would use if I had to do it again with approximate cost.
1) Four corner weight when loaded for travel and adjust tires accordingly. $25
2) Front end alignment. $150
3) Roadmaster steering stabilizer. $400 (installed myself)
4) Roadmaster sway bars. $3500 (paid extra because dealer was something less than competent)

There is also a cheap handling fix that is adjusting the stock sway bars that may help also. I believe the Roadmaster rear sway bar maintains the stock bar.
