Question:

I have a 2017 Coachman Freelander 20CB on a Ford Transit Chassis. Do you have steering stabilizers for that? Also looking for something to stabilize the back of the RV. Thanks

I was able to find a great solution to stabilize the rear end of your 2017 Coachman Freelander 20CB. However, I checked our vendors and there are no steering stabilizers for the Ford Transit Chassis Coachman Freelanders. Only the ones on the e-350 and e-450s. The solution I have will assist with your steering though.

I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2603. These air springs have a 4,800 lbs capacity that will level out your Motorhome. This will give you stability in the rear end and more control of your steering. This works by the air bags lifting the rear end up to put your front axle more in contact with the road. This gives you better traction when making turns. These springs will eliminate sagging and absorb road shock for a smooth ride.

I also recommend installing the Air Command Compressor System item # F2610. This not only keeps you from having to locate a compressor to adjust your air bags but it also pairs with a smartphone app so you can easily keep track of the PSI in your system.

I have linked a couple of review videos below.
