When crosswinds or passing trucks start to push you around, the 1-1/2" diameter rear anti-sway bar keeps things steady. It ties the rear axle to the frame and uses the axle’s weight to brace the chassis through turns. This setup balances weight transfer and cuts down on lean so the ride feels planted and predictable on the open road or uneven surfaces.
Constant steering corrections wear you out fast. This system minimizes side-to-side movement so you can relax behind the wheel. The bar works to keep the vehicle level in crosswinds, around semis, and when cargo shifts. The result is a smoother, more controlled drive that keeps you fresh even after hours on the road.
Strength matters when you’re fighting sway. This bar is made from 4140 chromoly steel—a tough chromium-molybdenum alloy that’s significantly harder and stronger than standard 1020 steel. The larger diameter increases torsional roll stiffness, giving you nearly 30% more resistance to sway. It’s an upgrade you can feel every time you take a corner.
Instead of standard rubber, this setup uses polyurethane bushings that stand up to oil, gasoline, and ozone. They don’t squish or break down easily, which means more consistent support over time. Heavy-gauge mounting hardware and included bushing lubricant make for a solid, long-lasting connection between the bar and chassis.
Getting better stability doesn’t have to mean complicated work. The bar mounts directly to the rear axle and frame using the included hardware. It’s a straightforward bolt-on installation that fits smoothly alongside most other suspension components, so you can spend more time driving and less time wrenching.

Ratings & Reviews
The Anti-sway bar was delivered within one week of ordering it. I installed it myself and I am very happy with the performance. I had a minor issue during installation and etrailer's customer service was very helpful in resolving the issue
The follow up via email about my order and the speed at which I received it was great. UPS rescheduled a few times but that is their inability to follow through not etrailer. Anyway the quality of the products look amazing only time will tell. I have installed the bump stops already and let me tell you it is a necessary upgrade! They too care of about 80-90 percent of the getting thrown around in the rear of my Mercedes 3500 sprinter. We try not to get up a lot during travel but somrtimes the kids need to go to the restroom on the road in the back and this will make that task so much less eventful! lol Thanks etrailer for more outstanding products! Hugs to you all!
This is the best upgrade we made on our 2017 mercedes Thor motor coach. Prior to installation it was a bear to drive in wind or even going around turns. This sway bar made 100 percent better drive. Well worth the money
Motorhome handles so much better now, no sway when passed by semi's and no play in steering wheel with this and front anti-sway bar

Added Suma Springs and Koni FSD Shocks the same time I installed the sway bar, so not sure exactly how much each component contributed, but it was the best handling ever. A lot less sway and barely noticed semi trucks passing, in either direction. Also, the cruise control never shut off, and I did have some strong crosswinds.
It took a little effort on the phone to figure out which sway bar was needed for the motorhome I have. I was skeptical about the right one being sent but it was correct and installation was a couple of hours. It fit perfectly and really dampened the body roll we were having. Worked great, service and delivery was fantastic. This was the first time I have used etrailer.com and am very happy with their product and willingness to help. I'll be using them again and I highly recommend them.
J'ai fait l'installation de l'Anti Sway Bar en mai 2022. Après avoir parcouru plus de 6000 km, j'en suis ravi. Cette barre a améliorer grandement le comportement routier de mon VR, un Winnebago Via 2013. Avoir su, j'aurais installé cette barre plus tôt. Je le conseille fortement au propriétaire de VR qui sont construit sur un Mercedes Sprinter. Ce véhicule a tendance à tanguer fortement. La barre est une excellente solution surtout si vous ne voulez pas durcir votre suspension.
I put this on my 2015 Winnebago view. I left the stock swaybar and added this one to the front of the rear axle. It was the single biggest improvement that I did to the suspension. I can't believe Winnebago sells the RV without this upgrade. It improves handling in the wind or turning corners tremendously.
Took about 3 hours to install. Purchased a 17/32" bit, and that worked adequately; bolts fit easily. Instructions were poor; there is a video that gives you the overview. Suggestion: before you bolt and torque the frame mounts, place the appropriate bolts and washers, as this won't happen (at least with my application) after, unless you want to dis-assemble. Package has been updated since the video, as the links are different, and there isn't a need to dis-assemble the link joints for grease.
I did this on my own (video recommended a 2nd person, which would help, but isn't mandatory), using ratchet straps to hold the bar during mounting. Kit was complete and professional. Amount of grease is adequate for the mounts. 80 ftlbs was the torque measure for the fittings. No measure given for the leaf U-bolts.
I would do this again. Sway and chassis-roll is substantially reduced. Confidence in drivability is enhanced. Worth the substantial price.
Installed the Roadmaster sway bar (RM-1209-131) and SumoSuper Springs (SSF-106-47 and SSR-338-54) on our 2020 Thor Tiburon. It made a huge difference. Before installing these items driving the rig was pretty scary at anything over 55 mph, even on smooth roads and limited wind. The rig would start to rock after a semi passed or slight dip in the lane and it would take what seemed like for ever for her settle down. Now driving the rig is a much more in-control feeling. It's noticeable for the passengers as well. Totally recommend this for anybody with a MBZ 3500 chassis. It didn't make the ride any harsher, just more in control. Installation wasn't too difficult. Be sure to watch the different install videos, some good pointers in those to make the installation easier.
very pleased handles so much better in wind, love it!!!!
I added the Roadmaster Auxiliary Anti-Sway Bar to my 2022 Isata 3, built on the 2021 MB Sprinter chassis. Before it was added, there was significant sway on uneven roads, and major rolling in and out of driveways. My wife complained constantly about the sway, which is apparently much more prominent in the passenger seat. I am very pleased with the improvement in the ride and my wife says the passenger experience is significantly improved.
I was amazed that etrailer.com shipped my order within an hour of placing it and it arrived within 2 days! I took the (very heavy) box to a local hitch shop that is an authorized Roadmaster dealer. Even though they had never installed one before, they completed the job in the amount of time that etrailer.com estimated.
I just completed an 800 mile trip and I am very pleased with this addition to my RV!
This product is of excellent quality and fit perfectly on my Sprinter 3500. It greatly reduced the swaying of the motorhome when going over uneven road surfaces and improved the overall handling on the highway. To test the difference we traveled over the same roads that caused dishes to move inside cabinets. They do no move now.
WOW! This is exactly what i hoped it would be. The ride quality is so much better. If i had to sum it up, id say its driving confidence. You just feel so much more in control. I was hoping it wouldn't be to stiff. Cornering is better. Turning of driveways doesn't toss you all over. It just feels like it should. Im so happy with this purchase. Install was easy. I did it in the driveway in about 2 1/2 hours.
The Roadmaster anti sway bar and bushings along with the sumo products also from you folks took care of problems on our class C motorhome.

I very pleased with my sway bar and sumo springs, they have kept my top heavy trailer on the pavement. Wind shear is far less than before I install said items.
I just installed the roadmasteranti sway bar 1209-131 on my 2013 Winnebago via.The vehicle is a 2012. it fit well and road test good. I had to shorten the exhaust about 9 inches because it interfered with drivers side arm other than that its good to go.

I am thinking about adding the 1209-131 to my 2011 Winnebago Via 25Q. Which model Via do you have? Im hoping I wont have to modify the exhaust on my Via Q. Thanks.

I put the sway bar on a 2012 25t I did shorten the exhaust about 9 inches I think 2 or 3 inches would have been good. That was easy to do, as new as they are just take exhaust loose at first coupling pass the elbow slide it out and take some off the piece that goes to the inside. Worked well for me. Going from our drive onto the blacktop road in front of our place was all it tuck to decide it was worth the effort. It fit very well. Thanks Mack. PS I am 75 and 240 Made a man door step for drivers door .It works well Love it. Mack

Still working very good I am not sure I needed to shorten exhaust but I did not know how much movement would be in the down rod So I did it just in case, working very good Mack
Great product, makes the wind and the truck wash just go away
RM-1209-131 delivered a day earlier than promised. Installed on 2018 Winnebago 24V View on 2016 Mercedes 3500 sprinter chassis. Good fit had to modify the exhaust which exits on shotgun side ahead of wheels which was to close to the long links. Drove 20 miles to my indoor storage. Quite a reduction to side to side sway. Handles like a different vehicle (better). Can’t WAITE till our next trip. Tulsa auto spring did the installation. Mikes custom muffler shop did the exhaust modification. Do believe l made the right decision not to tackle the job on my own $250 to install. $120 for exhaust modification. In Tulsa, Ok wouldn’t, go anywhere else to get the job done.

Driven 7500 miles wind trucks and mountains out west. Went from scary ride to more like my f150. Can’t believe Winnebago doesn’t do this at the factory prior to delivery. It would improve their sales probably so much that the cost would be absorbed.
I just received the sway bar today and was delivered very expeditiously. I do want to thank the etrailer staff for providing great service. I want to especially thank Conner L for working with me patiently to expertly advise me what I need to correct a sway issue I'm have with my RV coach. Conner is very well versed in RV technical knowledge and was a great help in suggesting options. My entire experience was very fluid through out the whole process. The assembly arrived quicker than anticipated and the shipping web site kept me informed as to where the shipment was each day. I'm looking forward to the benefits of my sway bar assemble as soon as it is installed. I am also looking forward to my next etrailer purchase. Thank you again.

Seems to be working good
Service was exceptional! Recieved order the following day, everything went together as described. Installation of equipment has greatly improved driving and handling on the road. Thank you
Dry big difference in wind and body roll on my Winnebago View
On my 2021 Mercedes Benz class C Tiffin Wayfarer this rear anti-sway bar fit perfect. I didn’t have to make any modifications to the exhaust. With help I had it installed in 2 hours and 50 minutes. The pictures on the instructions could have been clearer to understand.
The Road master sway bar made a remarkable difference in the handling of my 25.5' Winnebago Navion. High winds and passing trucks made handling difficult, and forced me to slow down before this mod. Now I can drive 70 to 80 mph in most conditions and in comfort. Just an amazing difference. I also like that installation does not require removal of the oem sway bar, so I now have double stability.
The package arrived in a timely manner, just as promised. The installation went as described in the instructions and everything fit well. It improved the handling quite a bit. I already had installed “Sumo Springs” last year (worked great) and the sway bar controlles the sway even more. One thing I can add is, get a long 1/2” drill bit (8” long) to help with drilling the front bracket holes. The drill chuck on my drill, hit the link tabs, causing me to drill at a slight angle (horizontal holes).
The biggest problem I encountered is that the bar contacts the exhaust pipe (1/4” gap) and makes noise when driving (see photos) . I have a diesel and the exhaust pipe is about 3” in diameter, which doesn’t help. I’m trying to figure out how to resolve this issue. I will update when I do.

When the anti-sway bar is installed, it is in a set position, but because the exhaust uses rubber isolators that suspend it from the exhaust hangers, the actual position of the exhaust pipe can vary a bit. The good news is that the positioning of the exhaust can be modified a little bit by gently bending the exhaust hangers. If that doesnt work, you can go to a muffler shop and have the exhaust hangers relocated fairly inexpensively.

It should be a factory option. It controls the sway like I hoped it would. No issues one year later.
Do you have a question about this Anti-Sway Bar?
