here's my question for those that might be kind enough to respond: my unscientific survey says about 70% do the safe-t-plus product, about 25% do the roadmaster, the remainder doing other products or suggesting i leave the rig alone and learn how to drive it. why are so many people spending about $200 more to get the safe-t-plus rather than the roadmaster product?

thanks in advance for your response.

Here's how I addressed the driveability problem;1) set tire pressures 2) alignment on loaded RV 3) CHF 4) steering stabilizer 5) rear trac bar. All helped some. Most noticed improvement was after trac bar install. No more white knuckles from minor side wind or pushed off road by big rigs. Also benefit from increasing experience behind wheel in various driving conditions.
