Question:
I have 2009 fleetwood southwind 32 ft with a 22,000 f53 chassis. I would like you to recommend the suspension upgrades you think would be the best ones I should do first to get the best bang for the buck

Expert Reply:
Thanks for reaching out, Bruce. A steering stabilizer, as well as front and rear sway bars will be the most worthwhile suspension upgrades for your 2009 Fleetwood Southwind. The steering stabilizer will help to keep the RV straight and true with less white-knuckle driving on the highway. The sway bars will also help with overall stability while reducing sway and body roll. Depending on what kind of "symptoms" you are experiencing, I usually recommend starting with the one upgrade, then evaluating the results and adding more as needed. Here is what I recommend for you:
- Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes # RM42RR
- Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar - 1-3/4" Diameter # RM-1139-148
- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-5/8" Diameter # RM-1139-149
You will find an install video for each part linked below.
