Good question, Wendy. No, not noticeably. The stabilizer # ST88MR only provides resistance when you’re near center, so at parking-lot speeds or when turning full-lock it won’t fight you. It’s designed to help straight-line tracking, not restrict normal steering.

Many Class A owners actually comment that their coach feels lighter to maneuver afterward because they aren’t constantly correcting on straight roads.

Once installed, test it at slow and highway speeds to feel the balance - it’s pretty natural. Wendy, how’s the rest of your setup - still stock suspension, or have you added SumoSprings or sway bars?
