Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer Installation - 2016 Winnebago Vista Motorhome

Speaker 1: Today on this 2016 Winnebago Vista, with an F53 chassis, we're going to review and install the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer, part number RN-RBK9-RSSA.This is a Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer. This is a great component to add to your RV. Whose main function is to help the RV go in a straight line down the road.One of the main benefits of keeping your RV straight down the road is that it takes less input from the driver to keep it going in a straight line. Also, in emergency situations, you have a tire blow out in the front, it's going to pull to one side really fast and the steering stabilizer is going to automatically correct for that, and help keep the RV in a controlled manner, go straight down the road till you can control it and pull it off to the side.Sometimes in a crosswind, you're going to have to counteract that wind and you're going to be relying on the steering wheel a lot. This actually helps you to keep it a straight line and reduce the stress.This also works on roads with ruts on them. That way when you go over the ruts it helps to keep it in a straight line because sometimes those ruts in the road will make you want to steer to one side or the other.Now this device works on a very simple principle.

Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar Installation - 2016 Winnebago Suncruiser

Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Winnebago Suncruiser, We're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster front anti-sway bar, part number RM-1139-148. So before we install our new anti-sway bar, we're going to take our motor home on our slalom course and see how it handles.Right away I can definitely tell you I feel a lot of body roll and it just genuinely feels a little bit unstable. So here's what our Roadmaster anti-sway bar looks like once we have it installed. Now it's going to replace our factory anti-sway bar, but it's also going to be a nice upgrade over the factory one.Now although our motor home did have one on there before, if you notice a lot of body roll or sway in the front, this is going to be a great improvement over that. And it's going to allow us to have a lot more tire feeling and a lot more stability in the front end.Now the way it's going to do that, is it's going to brace between our axle and our frame here, and it's going to reduce the amount that it's going to allow side-to-side movement, just like our shocks are going to reduce the up and down movement.The bar itself is made of a chrome moly steel, so it's going to be extra durable and the power coat finish is going to resist rust and corrosion. Now are sway-bar is going to come with some polyurethane bushings, which is a big benefit over the rubber bushings because they're going to withstand a lot better over to the elements and oil, grease or any other things that normally are associated underneath a motor home.The bar itself is going to be 1 3/4 inch in diameter and compared to our factory bar, it's going to be slightly bigger, our factory bar only being 1 1/2 inches.

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Test Course

Speaker 1: Let's head out to the test course and we'll see it in action.Let's start without the sway bar installed. You can see we've made a straight yellow line on top of our axle and then a rounded mark on the back of our jounce bumper, that's going to give you a really good idea of the movement between the frame and our axle.Before our sway bar is installed, as we do our slalom or side to side movement, you'll see how that comes together and separates, comes together and separates.As we do our wider sweeping corners, you can see how we get a lot of lean from the RV. It just is kind of held there in that position.On the solid bump, you're not going to notice a big difference but there is a slight tighter feel as we go over them.On our alternating bumps, we should see a much bigger difference. As our wheel falls off of that bump, it's going to draw down the other side helping to keep everything level and keeping that sway to a minimum.
