Benefits of an Anti-Sway System
The Roadmaster anti-sway kit does for side-to-side movement what a good pair of shocks does for up-and-down motion. You will notice a marked improvement in your vehicle's stability as it works to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll. The anti-sway bar acts as a link between your vehicle's frame and its front axle, using the axle as a brace to more effectively balance the shifting weight of your vehicle as you maneuver it. Lubricated bushings allow just enough pivot and rotation to compensate for the pressure placed on one side of your vehicle when it goes into sudden maneuvers, hits crosswinds or encounters shifting weights.
Superior Construction
The Roadmaster anti-sway bar is made of 4140 chromoly, a chromium and molybdenum steel alloy. This type of steel is considerably harder and stronger than the standard 1020 steel that is typically used in anti-sway applications. In addition, the larger diameter of the bar increases its torsional roll stiffness. The result is a bar that is not only stronger than the competition, but also nearly 30 percent better at resisting sway. The polyurethane bushings and grommets used at the attachment points are durable yet flexible, ensuring that the system is neither so rigid nor so malleable that it becomes ineffective.

This should have been original equipment.It ( 1995 Safari Trek) now drives like a completely different vehicle! I added Sumo Springs on the rear .These 2 items together are well the money. I installed both alone by myself (67 years young).

As most p30 owners, handling has been an issue. I have had my 1990 motorhome for 24 years and have white knuckled it for most of the time. I have added a trac bar, new rear springs, air bags on the rear. All have had some improvement. I was hesitant about the cost/effectiveness of a new front sway bar. I am here to say that the larger sway bar made a big improvement in handling. I was very concerned about the cost. But glad I pulled the trigger. It handles quite flat and has had some improvement with sway.
by: Tom09/23/2023
Replaced the sway bar on my 1996 Fleetwood Flair. Easy bolt on installation. Have issues with the front-end swaying and bouncing around in cross wind and when approaching a slower moving truck. The new sway bar helped some but not as well as it was claimed.

1999 Workhorse P Series
Excellent product, I installed front sway bar and rear sway bar bushings in less than two hours without using air tools. Working by myself, I put end bushings and saddles on first, put sway bar in both sides then lifted bar and put in the two center bushings. Fit perfect, thank you Roadmaster for a quality product. Wow did it make a difference, really reduced side to side sway and much more comfortable driving. This was installed on a 2000 Winnebago Brave P32 Workhorse chassis.

The anti-sway bar made quite a noticeable difference in handling And resistance to cross winds on my P32 Safari Trek. The new rear bushings for the rear anti-sway bar was an added bonus. Overall, the package was quite an improvement. etrailer had the package delivered promptly and without damage. The price point, of course was spot on. I’m very happy with the end results and I would recommend the product for anybody who’s motorhome might be experiencing uncomfortable sway and roll.

Not an easy job for one person without a way to hoist up the bar—heavy for an old man! But it was a very easy component to install, and dramatically improved the drivability of my 30 foot RV.

Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my order. I believe
it was delivered to my door in less than 24 hours from ordering, of
course being close to Roadmaster helped. Package was well packed and
complete,now I just need dry weather and time to install. Thanks again
for the guick response.

Installed the Roadmaster Sway Bar about a year ago, and we also added a pair of airbags in the front coils,and after a trip from Washington to Illinois and back the ride and handling were comparable if not better than my wifes minivan. Our motorhome is a 1994 National Seabreeze on a P30 chassis which naturally has independent front suspension. It wasn bad driving before but now is effortless and pleasant. No swaying or porpising, really smooths out the road, makes those 700 mile days effortless. Would recommend for most anybodys rigs.
by: Jim 11/12/2019
The bar it's self is working great. Easy to install. Is it helping the swaying problem is difficult to measure. I'm getting better at driving and it is giving me a little more time to adjust of wind and road condition. It was a good investment.

I have a 2017 Ford F350 Super Duty SRW, and we haul a heavy truck camper (Lance 1055.) I have Stable Load Uppers and HD airbags, but wanted to add a sway bar to add that extra layer of control, even though my truck has handled the camper well over the last 2 years and 10,000 miles. My truck did not come with an OEM sway bar installed, so I needed this kit that included the End Links too.
The Roadmaster Rear Sway Bar and End Links sold on etrailer are top quality products. They are robust and well made, with quality hardware to match. The product deserves a 5-star, and even unloaded, my truck handling improved right after installation, with improved cornering and no real impact on ride quality in my opinion. I have not yet loaded up our camper or towed our boat, but I have no doubt this sway bar will substantially reduce sway and will improve control and handling when the camper is loaded.
So why 4 stars and not 5?
1. I researched this product and the installation in detail. I planned on installing it myself and expected to find plenty of detail on etrailer's site, or Roadmaster's site, or the internet. My most pressing question was about where to mount the end links, and the orientation of the sway bar arms since I wouldn't be using the OEM end links. That information was no where to be found on the etrailer site, Roadmaster's site, or in any installation manuals. For a product and supplier that has likely sold lots of these to Ford Super Duty owners, I was surprised to find how little info was out there. The installation video on the etrailer site was helpful, but did not include any information for the end links, as they had a 2015 Super Duty and used the OEM end links already installed. I contacted etrailer and they told me to contact Roadmaster for more info on where to locate the end links with this kit.
2. I contacted Roadmaster. They told me they had no instructions and that despite my truck already having the cut-outs for the OEM bracket that attaches the OEM end links to the frame, that none of those holes may work for me. So they suggested I connect the sway bar brackets to the axle first and then see where the arms would line up with the end links. The tech also suggested that it wasn't critical that the end links were perpendicular
to the frame, but that I should try install the end links to allow the arm of the sway bar to hand as close to parallel as possible. No bueno. When I installed this the 14" end links (center hole to center hole) didn't allow for the arms to hang parallel to the frame. And I don't think it matters as the orientation of my sway bar and the arms looks about like every video or picture I could find on the internet of this year/model truck and this sway bar kit. It seems to function fine.
3. Installing it was a bear, especially the way they instructed me to. And I had to make some modifications to fit my truck, as the sway bar arms were rubbing up against my airbag mounting brackets. I got it installed, but the thin instructions turned what should have been a 60 minute job into 2 1/2 hours. A bit frustrating.
All in all, this will do the job intended and will provide me with peace of mind next time we load our camper. I am a bit frustrated that there were zero installation instructions specific to my year/make/model of truck given it did not have an OEM sway bar and the end links had to be installed with a bit of guesswork. You will also note in my pictures that I had to mount the end links to the sway bar arms differently on each side to make the bar fit around my air bag mounts.
by: Terry04/02/2023
Fairly easy install. Drilling the hole in the frame was decent started with a 17/64 pilot hole then the 17/32 final hole. Take your time and let the drill do the work.
Do be aware of the hole placement on the drivers side as there are brake lines and wiring there.
by: Neal02/09/2023
This product arrived on time, and is as described in company literature. I have installed the sway bars and the sumo springs on my 2019 Ford E3 26 foot Thor motorhome. Installation is fairly straightforward. Having said that, I am a retired farmer and I am quite familiar with this type of work. Having the proper tools makes the job go much quicker and easier. Installation of the front sway bar took a little under an hour. The rear sway bar is a bit more complicated to install, but he can be easily accomplished by someone of average mechanical skills, equipped with the proper tools. I strongly recommend removing the rear wheels to facilitate installation of the springs and the sway bar. I have not driven my motorhome yet, but will be taking an extended trip in March. I am looking forward to an improved ride.

OH My! If you are thinking about getting one for your P32 wide body. Please don’t hesitate. It REALLY Works. Take the white knuckle effect out of driving. EASY installation! Easy Ordering from etrailer. Roger helped me get through the buying process and shipped to my house in 2 days! Thank You!!

This sway bar is the real deal. Easy to follow instructions but I had it installed because I'm lazy. It took one hour labor
by: John03/01/2024
Replaced the anti-sway bar on our 2019 F350. No special tools or jacks needed for the installation. Now our Lance 850 truck camper doesn’t sway nearly as much as before. Big improvement. Very pleased!

The anti-sway bar made a big difference,however a person must remember this is just one component of a system it may not completely give you the ride that you’re wanting.l have since then installed new bell cranks ,a steering stabilizer installed and had the steering gearbox rebuilt.The next thing is to replace all leaf spring bushings .I am doing all work myself. All this can be done by anyone physically able and willing to do it .It just takes time and a lot of patience.
