Without knowing the exact model of your 2014 Thor ACE Motorhome I can only speculate on the correct fitting steering stabilizer. Most likely your motorhome is built on a Ford F-53 chassis like most are, but I'd hate to have you purchase one and it be the wrong fit so you'll want to verify the chassis prior to purchase.

If you do have a Ford F-53 Chassis then I have the following recommendations based on the GVWR of the motorhome:

For a GVWR over 22,000lbs you'll need the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes # RM42RR.

For a GVWR under 22,000lbs you'll need the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets for Class A Motorhomes # RM33RR.

When installing these steering stabilizers you'll need to ensure that your alignment is straight first otherwise the stabilizer is going to be off and will potentially make your handling worse. If you can get back to me with the chassis and GVWR or just the model number I can confirm the correct fit for you.
