To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When crosswinds, ruts, or uneven pavement try to push you around, the heavy-duty tempered steel spring inside this stabilizer works nonstop to hold the steering steady. It compresses or extends just enough to absorb the hit, then automatically pulls the wheel back to center. That means less wandering, fewer corrections, and a more controlled feel behind the wheel no matter what the road throws at you.
A sudden blowout or hard jolt can easily yank the steering out of your hands. This stabilizer links the steering mechanism to the chassis with a firm, balanced connection, so even when something goes wrong, it helps keep the vehicle tracking straight. It’s an extra layer of stability that makes a big difference when the unexpected happens.
Constant steering corrections get tiring fast, especially over long stretches of highway. Because the spring always works to bring the wheel back to center, you don’t have to fight the steering to stay on course. The result is a smoother, more relaxed drive with far less strain on the driver.
You don’t need to cut, weld, or drill to get this stabilizer in place. It attaches directly to the steering and chassis using the included custom brackets and hardware. With clear instructions and all the parts in the box, the install takes about an hour and you’re ready to roll.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a looks at Roadmaster's reflex steering stabilizer with mounting brackets for class A motor homes. You'll want to verify in our fit guide which part number fits your inaudible 00:00:10.Now we're taking a drive without our steering stabilizer installed so we can compare the differences. Right now you can see there, when I hit bumps, you can see the wheel jerk. Once we get our stabilizer installed, that will help minimize those jerks in the steering wheel. What this means for you, is you're going to have more control over your vehicle, as well as it's going to reduce fatigue when driving down the road, because you're not going to have to fight to hold it straight like you we're before.As we head into our test course here, you're going to notice as we go over the various terrains, car's steering wheel's going to react. We're going to start with something that will simulate uneven pavement.
You can really see here how it jerks the wheel. Now you have to fight it to keep it straight. Next, we're going to be going over something that's going to simulate potholes or speed bumps. You can see how it still jerks the wheel, but not as bad as our uneven pavement did. Another think you'll notice is that when you're turning, on some of them back country roads, your steering wheel will return to center, but we'll see how much more our stabilizer's going to make a difference in bringing our vehicle straight for us.
As of right now, it continues to turn left and is not straightening out.Once we get our steering stabilizer installed, we'll show you the difference. You can already tell when we go over our bumps, our steering wheel doesn't move nearly as much as it used to. It's much easier to maintain control. We come around our turns, you see we let go of the wheel and it immediately bring our steering wheel back to center. Unlike before, where our wheel kept at an angle and our RV just went right around in a circle all by itself.
Here we can let go and watch it return.Now, as you can see when we're turning, you'll see our spring expand and contract. It pulls our steering back to center. You can see here as we go over bumps, the dampener bringing our steering back to center right away. What this really means for you, is it's going to help reduce driver fatigue by keeping the steering wheel straight, returning to center, doing a lot of the work for you. It's going to give you an overall more stable ride by keeping that wheel straight.
You're going to feel safer and more confident going down the road.This is what our steering stabilizer's going to look like when it's installed. It's going to mount between your tie rod and your front axle. It's going to help keep your vehicle in a straight line going down the road. This will help reduce driver fatigue, because you won't have to fight that back and forth motion while going down the road. It will also help stabilize your vehicle, making for a safer trip. This works using the large spring installed on the shock. As it expands and contracts, it's going to want to return to its normal position. Since we have it installed with our wheels in a straight line, it's going to try to bring those wheels back to a straight line. The shock inside of it is going to help absorb those impacts in the road, so if you hit any potholes or uneven terrain, that's actually going to help dampen it, making so you don't have so much of a jarring motion up on the steering wheel inside the vehicle.The spring is made of a tempered steel, so it's going to be durable and last a long time. It has a rust resistant coating on it as well to help extend the life. This will help improve the safety of your motor home, especially on those long trips, because of high crosswinds that you may encounter in certain areas, uneven rough terrain, and in the even of a blowout it will help you maintain control so you can safely pull over. It comes with all the hardware you need to get it installed. There's no drilling required and it's a really easy quick install.Our customer William J. Had to say, "Our Winny Brave experienced violent front end oscillation at three different times; after driving over diagonal rail road tracks on two occasions and once again after a pothole I had the front end aligned and it needed it. The shop recommended the steering damper to remedy the oscillation problem. I drove the unit 36 miles without the addition of the damper and handling was improved, but it still drifted and changed directions with road surface changes. I have put another 36 miles on the unit since the damper addition and I can feel the change. The steering feels rock steady with no side to side drift or direction change, even some over some of our local rough roads. We are planning a trip that will take us back over the diagonal railroad tracks and I can't wait to see if the violent oscillation is gone for good. Initial indications are that the problem is cure."William J.'s right. I could tell a major difference just driving around on our test course here and the few moments we had with it. Compared to other suspension enhancements out there, such as sway bars and air bags, none of those are really going to achieve the same level of stability that this is on your steering when going over bumps. Those are going to be great to help prevent sway and other things, but not for that direction of center that this is going to bring back.That complete our look at Roadmaster's reflex steering stabilizer with mounting brackets for class A motor homes.
Ratings & Reviews
I installed the stabilizer on a 2009 Pleasure Way Excel RV built on the E350 super duty chassis. Original handling of the RV was extremely poor with significant sway, oversteer and wandering that made it practically undriveable at highway speeds. Passing semis, road crown and rutting caused major problems with stability and created a true white knuckle experience.
Prior to installing the stabilizer I had installed a Roadmaster rear sway bar and Helwig front sway bar. Each was a noticeable incremental improvement, but the van was still prone to wondering with constant steering adjustments needed to stay on the road. This made for a very tiring experience. The steering stabilizer made a huge improvement. Can drive at highway speeds even with brisk cross winds and still feel stable. I had high hopes for the stabilizer but it honestly exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend the kit for folks with a similar van with similar driveability issues.
I installed the stabilizer myself on a gravel driveway and completed the install in about and hour and a half. Please note that the frame on the 2008 E350 used for my 2009 RV WERE NOT tapped. I had to tap these myself to accept the M10x1.5 mounting bolts. Check your frame before starting the project and if you are not comfortable with this type of work then please consider having a shop install for you.
I would highly recommend this product.
We had this installed by Camping World on our 2019 Thor 26HE. It was a handful on the interstate when a semi passed.
Now there is just a small push-pull when they pass with the steering stabilizer.
I recommend this to everyone who buys a C Class RV.
Steering feels slightlymore solid than without it but thought it would bring the steering back to center which it does not. Also did expect it to have more impact when being passed by large trucks. Not sure if I would recommend it.
I was able to assemble the Reflex Steering Stabilizer by driving up onto 2 X 12 boards, and using my creeper, and an impact gun
. It took about an hour to assemble.
installed steering stabilizer along with a set of timbren blocks, what an amazing difference. easy directions andinstallation. delivered 1 day earlier than date posted. thank you!
Installed the roadmaster stabilizer on my 2017 F450 Fleetwood Jamboree and just got back from the test drive. Got the positioning just right on the first try. This with my sumo springs have completely transformed my ride.
Excellent.
Works well, install was a little tough as the video showed mounting bracket instructions different then the bracket I installed . I had to remove the spring u bolt nuts. That was not an easy task. Had to use a breaker bar and my legs to remove them. Install was easy and took about 20 minutes. Steering feels good.Happy with etrailer and the product.
What a difference this made. I was on the fence about this for quite a while because of the investment needed. Now that’s it’s on my 2018 Coachman Freelander 28QB sitting on a Ford E450 my only advice is don’t wait any longer, put this on as soon as possible! It took all of that steering wheel shake out. No need to hang on with a death grip anymore. The stabilizer is very easy to put on, it took me about 1 ½ hours to complete including taking the old one off. Just follow the great video and printed instructions from etrailer and you will have no problems at all.
I did the drive to find center on steering wheel which made installation easier. Removing existing steering stabilizer and brackets and installing the new wasn’t difficult at all with just basic tools. Read instructions and watch video at etrailer site. The reflex steering stabilizer is worth the money but should be the last modification done in my opinion. The first thing to install to help the swaying, leaning or just being pushed around by the semi trucks is #1 Roadmaster rear anti-sway bar if the manufacturer left the original small one on. #2 Roadmaster front anti-sway bar. Then #3 Roadmaster Reflex steering stabilizer. I say Roadmaster because the bushings and linkage for all of these are very heavy duty compared to the others that I compared. After doing all three of these upgrades to my 2022 E-450 33 foot class C the driving has gone from seriously gripping the steering wheel to driving relaxed with one hand in high wind or the passing of big rigs and ruff dipping road surfaces. I did this upgrades one at a time in the order I’ve indicated so I actually got to feel how each item help to control my motorhome. I am very pleased with all. Thanks etrailer for the excellent service.
We have driven about 3,400 miles since the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer install. I can honestly say it has made a significant difference in the handling of our Class C RV. Before installing the Stabilizer the RV steering felt like it wanted to drift one way or the other depending on road conditions. This is no longer the case. Much less work to steer.
I installed this on my 2003 Chevy Express 3500 Roadtrek Class B motorhome to help with steering wander. It improved the issue by about 75%. A noticeable improvement. The instructions were a little difficult to follow, but with some tech support help, I was able to remedy the issue by reversing the position of the small end bracket (see pic) that attaches to the steering center link. This is basically a shock absorber (dampener with spring) mounted horizontally on the steering Linkage. It worked well.
To start off, the folks at etrailer were the most professional and helpful. I cannot remember a company I have dealt with in the past that offers such help in determining the correct product and answering my many questions.
The installation of the RBK22 bracket was flawless. I was very concerned because of the size of my Newmar Country Star 3911 motor home (26,000 GVRW). The U bolt nuts came off without a lot of strain, since I went out an purchased a 3/4" breaker bar. We installed the mounting bracket and re torqued the U bolt nuts to the factory 250 ft. lbs of torque.
Installing the RSSA went smooth as well. Check out the pictures below. We then took the motor home out on the freeway and drove it between 65 - 70 mph. Steering was wonderful! Before, I could only drive 55 mph and had to constantly fight with the steering wheel to keep the motor home straight.
Thank you etrailer and Roadmaster for such a great product!

This stabilizer is great! Installed today (10/24) on my Georgetown 34H5. Took my it for a ride down Interstate 20 for about 5 miles. Was passed by a couple of semis and hardly felt anything! Your product is great. Looking forward to my trip to New Orleans in January.
Improved the handling but was just barely able to fit it on my Chevy Express 4500 chassis with a little modification to the bracket.
It does do a good job. The only possible change that I would like to see is to the attachment at the tie rod end. It can be a challenge to torque the u bolts to spec.
Thanks
The Roadmaster Reflex RV Steering Stabilizer has made a huge improvement in how our 22 E 450 coach drives. We live in South Central Kansas and wind is often a big problem . The Relex has been a great investment .
If you have a Ford E350 or E450, but this. Your future RVing self will thank you. East to install and a real game changer when it comes to driving. It takes attention to detail to get it centered but it is not difficult to get it done. No more wandering from lane to lane and no white knuckles when driving in the wind or meeting wind jamming semi truck.
Relatively easy install - huge difference in the steering of my Coach.
Steering is tight , no wandering ,love the return to center !!
These should be standard equipment on every motorhome sold - no exceptions.
Our Ford E350 got blown all over the Interstate on trips. It was so dangerous at times. At first I installed Bilstein shocks and though they helped a little, installing the front and rear anti-sway bars and the steering stabilizer made all the difference in the world. I changed them all at the same time so I don't know which one helped the most. These are certainly quality products and are pretty easy to install.
It took me about an hour to install the RM stabilizer and was surprised that no adjustment was needed after the test drive. I had to call back e Trailer to get torgue specs since it was not included in the package. Overall a great investment my van drives a lot better particularly on the freeway.
As of right now it gives a tighter feel to the steering. I had it put on by a local Rv dealer on 1/2026 for the up coming camping season. I have a Coachmen 29FW 2024
What awesome product I had it installed at an alignment shop took about 45 minutes, took it out on the highway and it did a better job then I ever could ask for. I now feel in control of my A Class Coach 100 percent better driving No more White knuckles it’s a joy to drive. Why Ford didn’t put a product like this on from the factory is beyond me. Could not be happier with the Reflex Steering Stabilizer made by Roadmaster E Trailer was awesome to work with also Thanks again
Quality built steering stabilzer. Well packaged and arrived within my expected time frame.
First, I did have to grind off corner of the plate that mounts under leaf spring bolts. It would not lay flush so I tapered one of the edges where it met the axel a little bit till it laid flush. I did buy a 3/4 inch wrench set but with an rv, it's good to have and will possible allow me to get the 22.5 inch wheels off in an emergency. This with a good solid 3' pipe and I was able to fairly easily break the leaf spring bolts free. I used boards to ensure the fronts tires were fairly straight, laying them alongside the tires and eyeballing to see where they lined up with the back tires which are about 4 inches wider than the front outside width. I mounted the steering stabilizer and took it for a test drive and it was good the first time, no additional adjustments needed. Feels good on the road, good around turns, and even at low speeds around the driveway, I did not notice any extra effort to turn the wheel due to the heavy spring on the stabalizer. Put about 75 miles on it and it feels solid and stable though no high winds or passing semi trucks yet. But my 2007 ford f53 22000 lb chassis under a holiday rambler admiral body has always felt pretty good. Just trying to make better, next up is the new koni evo fsd heavy duty shocks coming today.
I installed one of your stabilizer. The reason I did this, the steering on my rv was squirrel y at best. On one of my road trips I had a trucker come back into my line after passing. Unfortunately they turned back into my line with out clearing my rv. I have to go hard right to keep from being hit. If I did not have this product on I would not be hear to let you know this steering stabilizer save my @#$! Yes this steering stabilizer really works. Thank you for a product that does what it is designed.Thanks again, your product did save two lives that day.
[Thumbs up]
