- Recommended Sumo Springs for 2016 Thor 37RB Outlaw on Ford F-53 Chassis
- You've got the correct rear Sumo Springs for your 2016 Thor Outlaw 37RB on a Ford F-53 chassis and 26k GVWR with the # SSR-187-54-1. For the front axle the correct Sumo Springs are the # SSF-173-40-2. If you were only going to do one at a time I would definitely start on the rear axle, since that's usually where sway begins and that will offer you immediate help in correcting sway.
I've linked some installation videos of these parts for you to have a look at if you're planning on installing...
view full answer... - Anti-Sway Bar vs. SumoSprings for 2016 Thor Hurricane Motorhome
- The best option by far for your 2016 Thor Hurricane motorhome, built on a Ford F-53 chassis, are anti-sway bars. SumoSprings are a decent option that can help when the back-and-forth sway starts, but for the most control, your best suspension enhancement is - in order - a rear anti-sway bar, front anti-sway bar, and steering stabilizer.
Rear anti-sway bars are so effective because they are a vast improvement over the OEM sway bars and their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for...

- The only adjustable hitch that will fit your 2020 Winnebago T30 Class A Motorhome's 75" frame width is the Ultra-Fab 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver for Trailer Frames # UF35-946403.
This trailer hitch has a 350lb maximum tongue weight capacity and is perfect for mounting a bike rack, cargo carrier or other hitch accessory. It is not rated for towing, so you will not be able to flat tow or pull a trailer behind your motorhome.

What you'll need instead, is the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148.

view full answer... - What To Do When The Roadmaster Exact Center Pulls To One Side Instead Of Centering
- The quickest way to solve this issue would be to simply loosen the u-bolts that hole the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM82RR to the tie-rod of your motorhome and let the bracket move to a natural position so that it's not pulling you to the left anymore.
You can also adjust it by loosening the jam nuts on either side of the stabilizer and turning the rods either towards the front or back of the motorhome to fine tune it (10:55 in attached video), but having done it a...

- The correct fit for a rear anti-sway bar for your 2004 Winnebago Sightseer built on a Ford F-53 chassis is going to depend on its length, because based on my research there are a number of models with different total lengths.
Models 27C, 30B and 33L are less than 34 feet long, and the correct sway bar for that length is the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143.
Model 35N is longer than 34 feet, so the correct sway bar is the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # 1139-144. You will simply...
view full answer... - Recommended Front Mounted Trailer Hitch For A 1999 Ford F-53
- There aren't any custom fit front mounted trailer hitches for a 1999 Ford F-53 so you'd need to use a hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On # 41990-07 or part # 41990-16 for 16" tall brackets. You would need to reach out to a local fabrication shop since you'll have to get these welded in place on the frame and will most likely need to make alterations to the front fascia for access to the receiver tube.

- For the front anti-sway bar on your 2018 Forest River FR3 30DS with an F-53 chassis you need the Roadmaster part # RM-1139-148.
The rear anti-sway bar is the Roadmaster part # RM-1139-149. You do need to check to ensure there is enough factory u-bolt available to accommodate the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate. If the u-bolts are not long enough then the Extended U-Bolt Kit # RM-590050-00 is needed. If you don't have at least 3 threads showing on your factory u-bolts after adding a...

- In order to determine the correct rear sway bar for your 2017 Thor ACE 29.3 on a Ford F-53 chassis, you will need to take a look at the rear shock mounts. If the rear shock mounts have two holes and are parallel to the ground (see photo) then you will want to use part # RM-1139-145. If the rear shock mounts do not look like this then you are going to want to use part # RM-1139-146. I called my contact at Roadmaster to confirm this.

- For your 2001 Ford F53 Chassis with the Roadmaster TruTrac Front-Axle Trac Rod # RM-TRACV-10B installed I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2170. This kit will mount in front of the axle so that it will not interfere with the TruTrac bar you already have installed. You will need to confirm that you do have at least 8" from the outside of the frame rails to the inside of your tires for the kit to fit properly.
