Recommended Anti-Sway Bar and Steering Stabilizer For 2017 Thor ACE 30.2 Motorhome on Ford F53 Frame

Question:

I am looking at the RM-1139-149 and notice it says does not work on the Thor Outlaw. I have a 2017 Thor A.C.E. 30.2 and would like to verify it works on this unit and also if you know which longer U-bolt kit I might need? Also for front steering stabilizer do you know which I want to order I see the RM-RBK22-RSSA and RM-RBK9-RSSA show compatible with my vehicle. My unit I believe is the 2016 Ford F-53 chassis and it has the V10 engine.

Based on the 18,000 lb GVWR of your 2017 Thor ACE 30.2, I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Motor Homes # RM-1139-146. The Thor Outlaw that you asked about is a toy hauler and it is based on its design that the specific model is not compatible.

The # RM-1139-149 you asked about is for vehicles with a GVWR of 22,000 to 26,000 lbs. You will not need a longer u-bolt kit for your vehicle.

For a steering stabilizer, the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes # RM-RBK22-RSSA is my recommendation for you. The RM-RBK9-RSSA was discontinued and replaced by that model. This will help you with keeping your vehicle centered in many conditions and will reduce road fatigue.

Let me know if you have further questions.
