Question

Question:

I have a 2015 Winnebago Vista 27n. I believe its on a 2014 Ford F53 chassis. Which rear anti sway bar should I use? The 1139-145 or the 1139-149.

I looked up the GVWR of the 2018 Winnebago Vista and it looks to be between 16k and 18k which means that for a rear sway bar you would want the # RM-1139-146. For the F-53 chassis like what your RV has this will make the biggest ride quality improvement.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
