Hey Ron, thanks for reaching out!

We have two different steering stabilizers for your motorhome on a 2018 Ford F-53 chassis; the Roadmaster Reflex and the Roadmaster Exact Center. The Exact Center was supposed to be an upgrade to the Reflex but after it's release Roadmaster is reverting back to the Reflex because the Exact Center wasn't working out very well.

So for your application you'll want to go with the Reflex system that best matches the GVWR of your motorhome:

- Up to 24,000 lbs Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK22-RSSA
- Over 24,000 lbs Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK25-RSSA

@RonK They are somewhat easy to install if you've done DIY stuff before. Basically you need tools to install the 3/8" and 1/2" lock nuts. I'm attaching an installation video of this steering stabilizer on a Class A motorhome for you to check out.

For the biggest immediate improvement in ride quality I definitely recommend starting off with a rear sway bar. For your Tiffin RV built on the Workhorse W20 chassis the Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bar #RM-1259-108 will work perfectly. Most of the weight of…

Anti-sway bars and axle stabilizers are similar but they do different things. An anti-sway bar helps more with body roll which is that tilting side to side motion whereas an axle stabilizer helps for with the tail-wag motion. Both are going to make…

Your 2017 Winnebago Vista LX with 18,000 lb chassis does not have a Blue Ox Tiger Track Rear Trac Bar that will fit. The Tiger Track for your chassis only starts at the 20,000 lbs chassis. The steering stabilizer that will fit your motorhome is the…

Good question, Gary, and you’re smart to ask before doubling up. You’ll actually want to replace the Reflex, not run both. They do the same job, but the Safe-T-Plus #ST88MR is a clear upgrade. The Reflex uses universal fit and coil springs for…

Cheryl, the Safe-T-Plus #ST28MR should be your first step. Sway bars handle body roll, but steering stabilizers fix that “wandering” feeling. This model keeps your wheel centered automatically, so you’re not constantly correcting on long trips. You…

Hey Joe! The White Safe-T-Plus Steering Stabilizer #ST88MR is the correct one for your 2019 Jayco Precept 29V, and the Blue one, part #ST28MR, is for a heavier motorhome so I'd be afraid that using it could cause more harm than good. The…
