It sounds like you meant that the Fleetwood Bounder is on a 2019 Ford F-53 chassis which is very common. The first step in increasing the stability of the 2020 Fleetwood Bounder on the 2019 Ford F-53 chassis is to replace the factory sway bars. The factory sway bars, especially on the Ford Chassis are not as good as the aftermarket sway bars at keeping the motor home in line. I recommend Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway bar part # RM-1139-148 and Rear anti-sway bar part # RM-1139-149.

Before you purchase the rear anti-sway bar I recommend to take a look at your factory u-bolts to make sure they have enough thread for a washer and 1/2" plate that comes with the kit. If they are not long enough you will need part # RM-590050-00 for square u-bolts. If you have round u-bolts you'll need part # RM-590050-10.

The second step is to add a Roadmaster Reflex Steering stabilize part # RM-RBK25-RSSA this attaches to the steering mechanism and creates a tighter connection for better control. The steering stabilizer will keep the motor home on the road when you experience a strong gust of wind or uneven pavement.

This parts together will create a much safer and more comfortable driving experience for you.
