From the information available to me, the 2021 Thor Outlaw 38MB is constructed on a Ford F-53 chassis, please confirm this for your specific vehicle.

For the F-53 chassis motorhome and suspension upgrades my preference is to suggest Roadmaster items and I always start with the front and rear anti-sway bars followed by a steering stabilizer as first recommendations.


For your 2021 Thor Outlaw 38MB on Ford F-53 Chassis, I suggest the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148. This has a diameter of 1-3/4" and constructed of thick 4140 chromoly steel for superior strength over that of the OEM installed bar. It is not just the slightly increased diameter of the aftermarket anti-sway bar over that of the OEM that improves handling, but that of the 4140-steel used and the improved polyurethane bushings. This is a confirmed fit to your 2021 Thor Outlaw 38MB is constructed on a Ford F-53 chassis. This will minimize sway and driver fatigue by improving the stability and driveability of your motorhome. The bar on this sturdy, effective anti-sway system mounts to the front axle and to the frame to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll.

For the rear of vehicle, I suggest the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar, # RM-1139-149. This is a 1-1/2" diameter bar constructed with the same 4140 chromoly steel and polyurethane bushings as that of the recommended front antisway bar. This includes heavy-gauge mounting hardware, easy-to-follow instructions and bushing lubricant. This attaches to the rear axle and to chassis using the weight of axle to brace frame in turns and is engineered to avoid interference with most popular aftermarket add-ons and accessories.

The third item I suggest is a steering stabilizer. I suggest the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes
Item # RM-RBK25-RSSA. This will make your 2021 Thor Outlaw 38MB Motorhome easier to steer. The sturdy steel spring on this stabilizer keeps your Ford F-53 in line by constantly working to maintain its position. Mount it between the steering mechanism and the chassis for a tight connection that will minimize wander and correct oversteering compensating for oversteering and returns your vehicle to center.
