We have the parts you need for your 2020 Thor Ace 33.1 motorhome with a 20,500 lb GVWR to help with the sway to give you a more pleasant drive.

The best way to do this is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar because they are a vast improvement over the OEM sway bars and their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for the greatest improvement in handling. After that you can further improve the ride by adding a front anti-sway bar and steering stabilizer; the combination of these three parts will dramatically increase the handling and comfort of your Thor Ace.

The parts that fit your 2020 Thor Ace 33.1 are the following:

- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-145 (Please note this fits only if the shock mounts are parallel to the ground and have two holes; you can use the accompanying photo to help verify the fit)

- Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148

- Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM33RR
