Notes:
The Exact Center works better than other steering stabilizers because it's always working to prevent unwanted movement.
Other steering stabilizers slowly activate to control steering only after your motorhome has already begun to wander or make a turn. Basically, other steering stabilizers are reactive - they fight against the unwanted movement, but only after the movement has already started. They will get your RV back in line and absorb shock while doing so, but they still allow some play in the steering because of their soft centers, which can cause the steering to feel spongy.
Roadmaster's Exact Center is proactive. It uses a nitrogen-charged gas spring that applies full force right when you need it. This helps prevent the unwanted wandering and white-knuckling you typically get when driving your RV. The improved responsiveness makes driving to your next adventure less of an exhausting chore.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at trailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer with the custom mounting brackets for motorhomes. Now, this is a custom fit part. Now, this part here will fit many different years and models of Class A and Super C motorhomes. And because of that, what I would recommend for you to do is go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now, this is an exact center stabilizer.
This will work better than other steering stabilizers, mainly because it's always working to prevent unwanted movement. Other stabilizers will react to that movement and this exact center works to prevent it. Other steering stabilizers will also slowly activate to control the setting, only after your motorhome has already begun to wander or make a turn. So basically those steering stabilizers are reactive, which means they fight against unwanted movement but only after that movement has already started. Now, that will get your RV back in line, absorb shock while doing so, but they could still allow some play in the steering because of their soft centers which can cause the steering to feel spongy.
This Roadmaster Exact Center Stabilizer is proactive. Basically, it uses a nitrogen-charged tandem gas springs, which are inside of this, that applies full force right when you need it. And this will help prevent unwanted wandering and white-knuckling you typically get when driving your RV. This stabilizer will prevent your motorhome from wandering, improve steering, keeps your RV centered, taking the fight out of steering. And it'll also help maintain control of your RV during crosswinds, rut tracking and even road edging.
It is a bolt-on installation. There's no drilling or welding required. Basically, you'll use the factory axle bracket holes on one end and the tie rod location on the other end. It does include the custom mounting brackets, the mounting hardware to install it. The stabilizer itself is a heavy duty stainless steel construction.
It is made in the USA. Now, this kit is designed to work with motorhomes that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 22,000 pounds and above. And one last note I do wanna mention is this is designed to work with a suspension system that is in good working order. But that should do it for the review on this Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer with the custom mounting brackets for motorhomes..

This gas spring steering stabilizer will give your motorhome a responsive steering experience that keeps your rig from wandering. Custom mounting brackets included.I have a Super Class C built on a true Freightliner M2 commercial chassis (not the Freightliner motor home chassis). The mount bracket did not fit my chassis The u bolts are larger in diameter and wider than the provided bracket would mount to. I called Roadmaster directly and they were aware of this issue. They are shipping me a custom bracket for my chassis. I was quite impressed with their immediate action. As to etrailer, I have ordered from them many times. They are quick to ship and very responsive at any time. I will see if the new bracket works however I am impressed with the overall experience so far.
so far great service. i will not be installing until mid April
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.
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 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.
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.
This works great keeping motorhome tracking straight. Took some time and several drives to get it adjusted correctly but it is worth it.
Auto repair shop had to remove it to get the steering corrected on my motorhome and put the original back on
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.
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.
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.
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!
Helped tremendously with the push you get when a tractor trailer passes by. It helped my wife relax while traveling .
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.
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.
