Benefits of an Anti-Sway System
The Roadmaster anti-sway bar 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 the bar works to balance weight transfer and reduce body roll. The anti-sway bar acts as a link between your vehicle's frame and its rear 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 black powder-coated 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.

Everything pretty much fit like it should. Seemed to reduce the heavy rocking when You make sudden turns or coming out of a parking lot where the road is at a different level.
by: Lee 01/30/2024
What a serious improvement on my motorhome made it so stable. It’s actually unbelievable how nice it drives now easy to install fit perfect. Just amazes me every time I drive it how nice it is to drive. I don’t feel like I’m gonna roll over anymore.
by: Robert05/26/2023
I love both of the Roadmaster anti-sway bars I had installed right before a trip to Iowa. I purchased bushing kits for front and rear but, I didn't know the front sway bar came with new bushings. So I have an extra front sway bar bushing kit. The biggest difference I noticed right away was the handling on the highway. The people I talked to at etrailer were very helpful and always are when I call. Thanks

Wow, This sway bar is big, heavy, beefy and strong. I saw all the great reviews but was still surprised when I got it. Installation was straight forward but I did have to have a mechanic shop jack the RV up and take the huge bolts of the U-bolts because my impact wrench was not strong enough. I've only put a few mines on it since I installed it but I have already noticed a difference.

Allegro
Installed on a Tiffin Allegro 31SA by Whited Truck and RV Center in Auburn, Maine. The Roadmaster anti-sway bar and associated parts are rugged and of high quality. Installation time was about 3 hours; drilling the frame to secure brackets took the longest time. This anti-sway bar improved handing and reduced sway, especially on rough secondary roads.
by: Wayne J. 05/19/2017
Excellent product. Well made. Great instructions. Easy install with proper tools.
Made an incredible improvement in the handling of our 35 ft MOTORCOACH with F53 chassis.
All necessary hardware was included. Delivery and shipping by etrailer was spot on.
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to greatly decrease sway in a coach.

Ford
I just received the product, which weighs in at "Over 70 pounds" according to the UPS tape attached, and will be returning it unopened once I receive the Return Authorization slip. Please note that this action had to be taken because of "Operator Headspace"on MY PART !!! I failed to properly read the requirements and limitations in their advertisement. The 1139-143 is for a motorhome with the Ford F-53 for an up to a max of 34 foot motorhomes. Mine is a 37 foot and need the one for 18,000 to 24,000 lb. My mistake and the correct one is on the way thanks to the help from the wonderful service personnel at etrailer.com. Great service for less than smart people like me... Thank you so much etrailer.com!!!

Sway bars and steering dampener are installed and the sway has been reduced and dies out much quicker. I am 80 and was able to install everything myself but it is hard work.

All the products I have ordered arrived promptly and in secure packaging. The pricing was great and with the free shipping I doubt you will find it for less anywhere on the net. I definitely will do business with the guys again. I will be sending photos of completed project when I am finished installing.
Thanks

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bars
- Steering Stabilizer for a 2004 Holiday Rambler Ambassador 36PSTIt looks like your 2004 Holiday Rambler Ambassador 36PST was built on a Roadmaster chassis. if the chassis is the Air Ride or Monaco model (except with Dana Spicer front axle) you would need to use steering stabilizer # RM-RBK6-RSSA. If it is a model with a straight axle with leaf spring suspension use # RM-RBK8-RSSA. You can verify the chassis by providing the VIN number to Holliday Rambler.
view full answer... - Recommendations to Reduce Sway and Bounce on 1999 Bounder 28T Ford F-53 MotorhomeTo greatly reduce the bounce and sway you're experiencing with your 1999 Bounder 28T RV I highly recommend a combination of front and rear sway bars along with a steering stabilizer. For the Ford F-53 chassis on your RV that has an 18,000 pound GVWR the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143 will work perfectly. This 1-1/2" diameter sway bar will actually work in support of the factory bar (the factory unit will not be removed) to provide much better stability on the road. It will...
view full answer... - Recommended Anti-Sway And Steering Stabilizer For 2002 Winnebago Adventurer 35uOn your 2002 Winnebago Adventurer 35u, there is a benefit from all of the anti-sway as well as the steering stabilizer. In order of importance, the rear anti-sway will give you the most improvement, and I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Motor Homes, # RM-1139-143 which has a 1-1/2 inch diameter. The second most improvement based component is the Front Anti-Sway, # RM-1139-148. This diminishes the effects of crosswinds, passing motorists, and shifting cargo. It will...
view full answer... - Does the Roadmaster Rear Sway bar # RM-1139-143 Replace Factory Sway BarThe Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143 that you referenced is designed to work with a factory sway bar and not replace it. For more information on this sway bar check out the review video and install instructions link I attached.
view full answer... - Recommended Sway Control and Ride Suspension for 2004 Gulfstream Independence with Ford f-550 FrameFor your 2004 Ford F-550 motorhome chassis, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143 is the correct fit for your motorhome if it is up to 34 feet long. It if it longer, then you will instead use # 1139-144. The rear anti-sway is the most help out of all components. You will likely need longer u-bolts # RM-590050-00 or # RM-590050-10. Next, the Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148 is the next best step followed by the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for...
view full answer... - Improving the Ride Quality of an RV Built on a 2005 Workhorse W22 ChassisYes! Probably the single best addition you can make to provide better handling in your RV would be to install a rear anti-sway bar. Helper springs treat the symptom but not the cause like an anti-sway bar would. There are 2 rear sway bar options for your 2005 Workhorse W22: # RM-1259-108 and # RM-1259-109 (for applications 33 feet or longer). Additional products for even more stability include axle stabilizers: # RM-TRACW-22 or # TT2304 for the front end. And adding a steering stabilizer,...

The best way to enhance and stabilize the drive of your 2001 Fleetwood Bounder is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar because they are better...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2015 Thor Ace 30.1Typically the best option for the Ford F-53 chassis RVs like yours to allow them a better ride quality is a rear sway bar like the part # RM-1139-146. This will make the biggest improvement. Then next in line is the front sway bar part # RM-1139-148. Then last the steering stabilizer like the part # RM-RBK22-RSSA is going to bring the wheel to center very easily.
view full answer... - Blue Ox Tiger Trak Trac Bars for 2001 National Dolphin MotorhomeFor the front Tiger Trak track bar, use # TT2403 for the V10 engine model and # TT2404 for the V8 model. Blue Ox doesn't list a rear trac bar fit for your 2001 F53 chassis, so I'd recommend using a Roadmaster anti-sway bar, part # RM-1139-143 for coaches less than 34 feet long or # 1139-144 for coaches 34 feet or longer. Both a track bar and an anti-sway bar will keep the rear axle rigidly in place so it's perpendicular to the frame.
view full answer... - Anti-Sway Bar and Steering Stabilizer for a 1997 Ford F-53 Chassis Motor HomeThere are several possible options for anti-sway bars and steering stabilizers depending on how your F-53 chassis is configured and what motor is in the RV. I have included a link to the options for you. Use the drop down menu to choose the motor size (V8 or V10) to see the options available. I have also included a link to our stabilization FAQ article for heavy duty vehicles.
view full answer... - Sway Bar for 2015 Winnebago Itasca Ellipse Class A Motorhome Built on Freightliner ChassisAccording to my research your 2015 Winnebago Itasca Ellipse Class A motorhome is built on a Freightliner M2 chassis. If your manual indicates this, and that this (impressive) motorhome has an 8K-rated front axle then we do offer a front anti-sway bar from Roadmaster. Part # RM-1209-116 is a kit that includes the sway bar, bushings, mounting brackets and hardware. The linked photo illustrates the kit components. The rear sway bar you referenced fits only Ford F-53-based motor homes.

- Sway Bar Recommendations for 2017 Thor Ace RV Ford F-53 ChassisThe sway bar you would need for the rear of a 2016 Ford F53 chassis is the part # RM-1139-143 since yours is under 34 feet in length. For the front sway bar you would want the part # RM-1139-148 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Anti-Sway Bars And Steering Stabilizer For 2018 Jayco AlanteYour 2018 Jayco Alante, it all comes down to your driving preferences. Many people will add stabilizers to reduce sway. For your F53 chassis most owners will add the pieces one at a time to their factory system. I have found most start with the rear anti-sway, then add steering stabilization, and then add front anti-sway. These items all reduce the sway and body roll and make driving a more comfortable and less fatiguing experience. Most owners eventually install all 3 for the best...
view full answer... - Rear Sway Bar Recommendation for 2016 Ford F53 Thor ACE 27.2If you wanted to just install a rear sway bar on your 2016 Ford F53 Thor ACE 27.2 you certainly could do that with the part # RM-1139-146. We often recommend people first install a rear sway bar since it will make the biggest improvement and if they want more stability to then go with a new front sway bar. For that part # RM-1139-148 is what you need.
view full answer... - Recommended Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Ford F-53-Based 2017 Forest River FR3 29DS RVYour 2017 Forest River RV is likely to be built on a 2016 model year F-53 V10 chassis but it could be based on a 2017 model year. You will want to confirm the model year for the base F-53 chassis since some rear anti-sway bar fits differ for the two model years. For a 2016 F-53 chassis use Roadmaster rear anti-sway bar # RM-1139-143. The factory bar remains in place when you install this unit. This particular Roadmaster part also fits the 2017 F-53. Links to parts for both model years...

The Roadmaster system installs quickly without drilling and includes all hardware. Roadmaster part # RM-1139-143 that you referenced fits Ford F-53 based chassis only.

But if your shocks are bad it won't compensate for that. Typically the best way to combat an RV that wants to wander as you are driving is a steering stabilizer like the part # RM-RBK4-RSSA which is a confirmed fit. For body roll and sway a rear sway bar will make the most difference. Roadmaster recommends this as the first line of defense...

According to my research your 1998 Ford Transit Motorhome is built on an F-53 chassis so as long as it has a 15,700 lb GVWR I recommend using the 1-1/2" Diameter Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143. Please note that you may also need the long U-Bolt kit as well. For 15-7/8" Square Bolts you need part # RM-590050-00 and then for 20-1/4" Round Bolts you need part # RM-590050-10.
