That is correct. The SafeTPlus has its spring inside a cover but the Roadmaster has it outside and it’s easy to see how it works. I think the spring makes the biggest difference in routine handling while the “shock absorber” function adds benefit for gusty winds, front tire blowout or for occasions when a front wheel drops off the pavement. Before I bought mine I was driving my class A on a country two lane when a distracted oncoming driver (on her cellphone) wandered into my lane. Swerving on to the shoulder involved a drop off and it was one of the scariest driving moments in memory. Haven’t “tried it” since installing the Roadmaster but I believe it’d help a lot.
