In order, here are the best options to improve the ride of your 2015 Georgetown 270S motorhome on a Ford chassis:

1) Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-146

2) Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148

3) Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK22-RSSA

4) SumoSprings Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-187-40-1 and Front Axle # SSF-170-40-2

I recognize budget is always a factor, so for the additions you should make, I recommend starting at the top and working your way down as much as you can. If you have to do just one, start with the rear anti-sway bar, then the front, followed by the steering stabilizer, and then the SumoSprings after that.

The reason rear anti-sway bars are the best is because they are constructed with higher-strength, thicker steel than OEM sway bars. This means the bars are are stronger with much higher roll stiffness to combat sway, while their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for the greatest improvement in handling.

The front anti-sway bar adds another layer of strength and sway prevention, followed by the steering stabilizer to help you center the rig, and finally the SumoSprings, which are a nice way to ensure you are level and have some benefit for side-to-side sway, but won't do nearly as much as the anti-sway bars.

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors which we…
