Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this Roadmaster Exact Center steering stabilizer. This gas spring steering stabilizer is gonna give your Jeep a sports car-like steering experience that will keep it from wandering. This will give you the ability to back up without disconnecting your flat tow when towing your Jeep behind your RV, reducing the chances of jackknifing when backing up your flat tow. It's going to keep your Jeep centered, taking the fight out of the steering and help maintain control of your Jeep during crosswinds, rut tracking, road edging, and it's gonna eliminate death wobble.
Now, this is made in the USA of heavy-duty stainless steel construction with a nitrogen-charged tandem gas spring to stabilize your ride, preventing that unwanted movement by applying full force right when you need it. Now, this is going to install in approximately an hour with no drilling or welding. This is going to attach to the steering mechanism on one end and to the chassis undercarriage on the other. I do wanna point out that custom mounting brackets are required for installation and those are sold separately, so those custom mounting brackets do not come with this stabilizer. Now, let me just give you the measurement here from center to center here to make sure that this is going to work for your application.
It looks like center to center, we are sitting right at 21 inches long. And this does have a limited lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy.
Thank you for joining me..

Hey RV'rs.... I upgraded from the Roadmaster stabilizer and the difference was phenomenal... Prince Edward county to Key West with minimal steering correcting
For what this cost,I notice no difference in the steering handling from the prior factory set-up. My RV mechanic tells me it's because I have a shorter motor coach at 32 foot. It just gets blown around and handles like a a short wheel base vehicle.
Driving our 30 ft. Class C motor homes, is like driving a sports car, haven’t had steering problems with road ruts, no more white nuckle driving, sure help driving between big
rigs. I glad I waited on them during the Covid shortages instead of buying some other product. You need to put ty raps on the end of the boots that’s keeping it in place. Great investment.
Super easy install on a 2019 Leprechaun 319MB ,Class C RV. Hardest part was taking off the old hardware. Followed the instructions and test drove at 60mph and it drove totally straight and did not have to make any micro adjustments. A very well made product.
I really like the way the vehicle handles after finally getting it centered. I had issues with the rubber boot constantly sliding off one side or the other. This would cause major vehicle pulling one way or the other especially after one heavy rain storm. I placed hose clamps on the boot and clamped it to the steering stabilizer, that fixed the issue.
Tips for installation;
1) Drive and find straight/center with masking tape as described; DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP or rely on if the wheels just look straight.
2) Wire brush (with drill attachment) U-bolts to remove rust.
3) Spray with PB Rust breaker type product and let soak on U-bolts
4) Remove U-bolts with torque wrench to help determine torque setting
5) Follow remainder of etrailer video instructions as they are clear and correct EXCEPT; the black end pieces in which the shock screws into should be set to a thread depth you are comfortable with prior to install to leave room to perform fine adjustments. I reset bracket to make sure the threads had plenty of bite.
The hardest part is the fine tuning. I have only put approx. 10miles on it at this point searching for center as I did not do step #1 at first and had to reset the bracket on the drag-link to ensure proper thread depth.
As far as performance; Not sure how I feel about it yet. Does hold straight but requires more effort during turns and constant effort to maintain the turn. My rig takes a lot of mico adjustments on the steering wheel going down the road to keep straight and I am concerned this will cause more fatigue rather than less. Getting ready for road trip and will report more after.
As far as Etrailer; Excellent communication, quick shipping, good instructional video.
easy to install on my 2011 e450 super duty jayco grayhawk. test drive proved good control. will know more when towing our jeep grand cherokee.
I experienced more steering issues with this on.
I had it inspected and reinstalled by three separate installation sites.
I now have it sitting in a cupboard. Waste of money. Major regret
Made steering worse.
make sure steering wheel is straight before you start. test drive was vastly improved. almost no wander. my roads suck in the country, so its really hard to tell how good until i get on a real highway.
I wish I had installed the stabilizer years ago. My motorhome is so much easier to drive.
A great product.
I can always count on e trailer for the right part at a good price. In addition, their product knowledge and customer service is outstanding.
Auto repair shop had to remove it to get the steering corrected on my motorhome and put the original back on
This works great keeping motorhome tracking straight. Took some time and several drives to get it adjusted correctly but it is worth it.
This was my second stabilizer for a 38 ft class a motorhome. Big improvement from past experiences. Much more balanced stabilizer because it's not reliant on pushing in one direction for centering.
Suggest this is one of the first steps ever new class c owner do to replace the OEM component. The OEM component on my unit was complete trash with less than 5K miles.
I added this Roadmaster exact center stabilizer to my 2022 Entegra Odyssey 26M class C RV and it was a game changer. I felt like I was driving a car i didn’t have to keep making huge adjustments with the steering wheel and it helped so much when pass Semi trucks. It also helped on roads that were rutted. I didn’t feel like I was going all over the road. I think that the combo of this stabilizer and the Sumo Springs that I added to the bump stops on the frame (1000 lb front springs, 3000 lb rear springs) have made RV travel way more enjoyable. No more white knuckle driving.
Get one, you won't be sorry. I traveled 7250 miles around the US this past summer and the stabilizer performed perfectly keeping the RV from drifting out of lane. This makes driving so much easier. Even in wind gusts the stabilizer was a tremendous aid controlling the RV from lurching left or right. I believe its a good investment.
This made driving way more enjoyable. My unit had no stabilizer. I wish it did.
Delivered on time. Great videos available for installation. It may have taken a half hour to install. I bought this for a 2021 Cross Trek 22XG on E350 chassis. It made a big difference. It's not like driving my F150, but with this set up I'm 90% there. So instead of having to concentrate on staying in my lane so much I could actually enjoy the scenery! Game changer!
Made such a big difference when doing our c class motorhome. We definitely recommend your company with getting this Roadmaster .
Roadmasters quality of work,and the way you make sure everything is good.
Helped tremendously with the push you get when a tractor trailer passes by. It helped my wife relax while traveling .
The unit was super easy to install and worked super well..at first. Later, the rubber boot bunched up and the stabilizer didn't work nearly as well. I kind of wished I would have purchased a different type.
We put this on a 2002 Holiday Rambler pusher with about 70,000 miles. I looked at this system a few years ago but I wasn’t sure it would make much of a difference. Wow was I wrong ! We were leaving for an out west trip and so I thought it would be a good test. First off the coach never handled (bad) it just wasn’t great. I would say that this cleaned up about 80% of the steering wheel (sawing). I literally had to retrain myself not to constantly over steer the coach and let the system recenter me. I found myself giggling as I would start the day’s drive because it made that much difference. My only regret is that I waited 12 years before trying this steering stabilizer. It was simple to install (did it myself) and I didn’t even need to adjust it. I went for a test drive previous to installing and made note of where the steering wheel needed to be when going straight, then set the wheel in that position when I installed the stabilizer. Still amazed something so small could make such a difference.
