For your 2011 Forest River Georgetown Class A Motorhome with V10, you have a Ford F53 chassis and the Triton engine so I have exactly what you need. There are a few products that will greatly help with your handling and sway control, so I'll give them in the order that will give you the most help, but both can be used together for the best ride.
I recommend first installing the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Motorhomes # RM-1139-146. This product is rated for your GVWR and fits coaches that are less than 34 feet long like yours. This will minimize the side to side movement which will diminish the effects of crosswinds and passing motorists.
Then I recommend the Roadmaster TruTrac Front-Axle Trac Rod for Large Trucks and RVs # RM-TRAC-F550 which will brace your front axle so that wander is minimized as well as rut tracking. It controls the side to side movement while still allowing the vertical movement necessary for your suspension.
The combination of these parts will greatly reduce driver fatigue as you will have a much more enjoyable driving experience when you no longer have body roll and sway issues.

I have a 2012 Itaska motorhome with F53 chassis, 15092 GVW empty that I bought from Camping World. It handles horribly, very unpredictable handling, wanders even at 35 mph, on the highway 55 mph is the maximum with slightest wind or semis passing causing movement. What would you recommend to improve these problems? Have had various recommendations with prices to match.
