For a 2020 Class C motorhome on a Ford E450 van cutaway chassis, a steering stabilizer, rear anti-sway bar and a SumoSprings rear suspension helper will work wonders to improve the suspension of your motorhome.
The anti-sway bar will tie the rear axle to the frame, to keep it perfectly perpendicular to the frame to reduce sway caused from crosswinds or passing/oncoming traffic. A steering stabilizer will will further help with sway, and prevent the vehicle from following ruts in the pavement and will help the steering return to center. A helper spring option such as the SumoSprings will help cushion bumps, help dampen body roll in turns and provide additional support.
According to Roadmaster, for a steering stabilizer, you'll need the Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets # RM47MR.
For an anti-sway bar, use # RM-1139-147 and for a SumoSprings helper spring, I'd recommend part # SSR-130-54.
