Question:
2015 Jayco Redhawk 31xl class c with an E450 front. When flat towing a 2014 GMC Acadia 4850 lbs. I am fighting the steering wheel and I seem to develop a decent amount of sway and tail wag. My alignment, weight and tire pressure are all good. What items do you have that could give me a better ride when flat towing?

Expert Reply:
Just like a trailer, a vehicle being flat towed can pull around your RV, especially if the roads are uneven or wind joins in. There are several stabilizing products you could use to improve this issue and provide a better, safer tow.
For a rear anti-sway bar you can use # RM-1139-147 which will provide an upgraded bar and bushings to improve stability at the back of the RV built on the Ford E-450 chassis.
For the front the correct replacement anti-sway bar is # RM-1139-176.
The more stability products you add the more stable and enjoyable the ride is going to be!
