If your 2013 Thor Challenger, built on a Ford 22-Series V-10 chassis, has a noticeable tilt to the driver's side even when parked on level ground this might simply be due to the weight of the slide-out assemblies. We have heard of this issue before.
You can have the coach suspension checked out by a qualified technician and you might also want to confirm that your loading of the coach is not also responsible for the tilt. Thor can probably offer you some help on this point; I suggest contacting them with your coach VIN so that can look up all the equipment in it.
Once you know nothing is wrong with the coach then by all means you can improve its handling by installing front and rear anti-sway bars. For a front bar use Roadmaster kit # RM-1139-148; for the rear anti-sway bar use kit # RM-1139-149. These products are all suited to the coach's 22K gross weight.
