• Rear Anti-Sway Bar for 2011 Georgetown 360 Motorhome on a Ford F-53 V10 Chassis and 22K GVWR
  The correct rear anti-sway bar for the 2011 Ford F-53 motorhome chassis V10 rated for 22,000 pounds is # RM-1139-149. Check to ensure there is enough factory u-bolt available to accommodate the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate. If the u-bolts are not long enough, the # RM-590050-00 u-bolt replacement kit is needed; sold separately. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Rear anti-sway bar # 1139-144 only fits up to the 2005 Ford F-53 chassis.

• Diameter of the Rear Sway Bar by Roadmaster part # 1139-144
  The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # 1139-144 that you referenced is a 1-3/4 inch thick anti-sway bar. I confirmed this with Roadmaster. To determine if you will need the u-bolt kit # RM-590050-00 you will need to check out the current u-bolts your rear suspension is using. Basically if the u-bolt has enough threads above the nut to accommodate an additional 1/2 inch thick plate being attached to it you would not need the kit. If there's not enough threads on the u-bolt to accommodate an...

• Recommended Anti-Sway Bars for 2005 Fleetwood Bounder 34F
  For your 2005 Fleetwood Bounder 34F, I recommend replacing the rear sway bar first. The rear needs more stability than the front based on the axle placement and weight so it will make the greater impact. I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # 1139-144. This retains the factory sway bar. The factory u-bolt may not be long enough for the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate. If not, square top u-bolts will need # RM-590050-00, and round top u-bolts will need # RM-590050-10. To...

• Installing The Roadmaster RM-1259-108 Rear Anti Sway Bar On A 2004 Fleetwood Bounder
  The flack plate/bracket should indeed have the bushings facing towards the front of the vehicle. I included an image showing this as well. As to drilling the holes for the shackle bracket, I don't really have a way to make that easier, unfortunately. This can definitely be a pain in the butt and the only advice I can offer is to use a 90 degree angle drill, if you are not already using one. If you do not have the room for that, a long extension on either a drill or ratchet should grant...

• Roadmaster Rear Sway Bar and Extended U-Bolt Kit Recommendation for a 2014 Ford F-53
  You will need to check the U-bolts you have currently to determine if there is enough thread for the 1/2 inch spacer that comes with the # 1139-144. You would need room for the spacer and still have 3 threads showing on the u-bolt. That is the only confirmed way to know if you will need the long U-bolt kit part # RM-590050-00 as well.

• Recommendation to Improve Ride and Stability of 2016 Fleetwood Bounder 34 Foot
  You can use all of the components you listed together and it will work well. Typically the product that makes the biggest difference in body roll, handling, stability etc. is the rear sway bar, then the front sway bar, and finally the steering stabilizer. Suspension enhancement does help too but I wouldn't put it quite in the same category as the other products. The rear bar you want is part # 1139-144 due the length of your RV, the front bar you want # RM-1139-148 and the the stabilizer...
