- Comparing the Tekonsha P3 and Primus Brake Controllers
- I will be happy to compare the Tekonsha P3 # 90195 and the Primus # TK90160 for you.
First, I will cover features that both controllers share. Both controllers:

Come with a universal pigtail
Are proportional controllers (apply trailer brakes to the same amount as the vehicle is braking)
Have automatic leveling
Have limited life time warranties
The controllers have several differences:
The P3 has an LCD display. The Primus has an LED display

- Either will work for your 2013 Ford F-53 with a 22,000 GVWR. The Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar, # RM-1139-148 fits the 18,000, 20,500, your 22,000 GVWR F-53 as well as the 24,000 and 26,000 GVWR chassis.
The Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar, # RM-1139-140 also fits your 22,000 GVWR F-53 but also fits the 15,700, 16,000, 18,000 and 20,500 GVWR chassis. I suggest selecting the item that best fits your budget.
Your 22,000 GVWR F-53 chassis happens to crossover to each option.

- If your Class A motorhome is built on a 2003 Ford F-53 chassis then we offer one option in a steering stabilizer, The Roadmaster Reflex # RM-RBK4-RSSA which is for the Ford V8 chassis. We do not sell the Safe-T-Plus products so I have no experience with them to allow me to comment on or compare their installation or performance.
I do suggest you have a look at the customer reviews for this Roadmaster kit to see what owners say about its stabilizing effects on their motorhomes when they...

- You are correct that the different colors on the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs like the # SSR-187-54-1 note the different densities of the springs; the yellow springs that you were looking at and are mentioned above are the stiffest compression strength springs available for your 2020 Coachman Mirada 32SS and are the best choice to help reduce the side-to-side sway you're experiencing.
For reference, the blue SumoSprings are for light duty applications, the black are designed for...

- When comparing the ride quality between the Timbren # TFFF53B and SumoSpring # SSF-172-40-2 I recommend going with the SumoSprings.
Although Timbren is a very solid product, the SumoSprings have been proven to have more of a forgiving support over the Timbrens. This is supported by great reviews and feedback from customers. For your specific application the SumoSprings are installed so that half of each spring is on the top and the other half is on the bottom so when contact is made it...

- Both the SumoSprings Helper Springs, # SSR-184-40-1 and # SSR-187-40-1, are confirmed to fit the F-53 Ford Chassis of your 2016 Thor Ace RV.
The difference between the two sets of helper springs is the # SSR-184-40-1 helper springs has a weigh capacity of 3,000 lbs at 50 percent compression, while the # SSR-187-40-1 springs have a 2,600 lbs capacity. Other than the weight capacity difference, both of these helper springs sets are identical in construction and installation.

- Both the Reflex Steering Stabilizer RM-RBK9-RSSA and the Reflex Steering Stabilizer # RM-RBK22-RSSA are fits compatible with your Ford F53 chassis on your Jayco RV. Both of the stabilizer attaches to your Ford F-53's tie rod on one end and to the frame on the other. The only real difference between these is that the # RM-RBK22-RSSA was originally for vehicles with GVWR of 26,00 lbs or higher but they have now replaced the RM-RBK9-RSSA with the # RM-RBK22-RSSA and labeled it compatible...

- Rear anti-sway bar # RM-1139-145 will fit a 2018 Ford F-53 chassis with a gross vehicle weight rating of 20,500 pounds.
Rear anti-sway bar # RM-1139-146 will fit a 2018 Ford F-53 chassis with a gross vehicle weight rating of 15,700 pounds, 16,000 pounds, or 18,000 pounds. It also only fits coaches that are less than 34 feet long and does not fit the Thor Outlaw.
Since you have a gross weight rating of 22,000 pounds you would actually need # RM-1139-149. I have linked a video showing an...
view full answer... - SumoSprings Versus Timbren Suspension Enhancement For a 2000 National RV Tropi-Cal 6350 Motorhome
- I prefer using SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-172-40-2 for the front axle and SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-181-54-1 for the rear of your 2000 National RV Tropi-Cal 6350 motorhome. You have a Ford F-53 chassis with a GVWR of 20,500lbs.
I find the SumoSprings work better as they are not as stiff as the Timbren Front # TFFF53MH and Rear # TFRF53A suspension. The stiffer ride the Timbrens give you can lead to more issues inside the camper as they do not absorb...

- For the functionality, the Derale Electra-Cool Combo Cooler, part # D15200, is the best cooler for your engine and transmission.
The 8-pass tubes and 650-CFM tornado fan work in conjunction to keep both cool and extends their life, prolonging the period between fluid changes. We don't have anything here that can rival it.
