We do have a front anti-sway bar that fits your 2021 Forest River 33DS motorhome, which was built on a Ford F-53 chassis and has a 20,500 lb GVWR. There isn't a rear anti-sway bar that fits this motorhome, but you can add additional suspension support by adding the front anti-sway bar along with front and rear SumoSprings. The parts that fit your 2021 Forest River 33DS are the following:

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

- SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-187-54-1

- SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-170-40-2

The reason there isn't a rear anti-sway bar is because the one that fits your F-53 chassis is only for Class A motorhomes with a V10 engine, and the '21 FR3 has a V8. That said, this combination of front anti-sway bar and SumoSprings is going to deliver a vastly improved ride even without the rear bar.

The anti-sway bar (pictured below) uses a high-strength, thick steel with much very high roll stiffness to combat sway and keep your rig centered. It will combine with the SumoSprings, which compress independently based on the amount of weight being transferred, allowing them to reduce the amount of sway and body roll you experience as well as help keep your motorhome level.

This combination of parts is going to dramatically increase the handling and comfort of your Forest River motorhome, so you can enjoy your time on the road instead of exhaustively attempting to keep your rig centered at all times. I have added links below to some video reviews and installs to check out as well.

I looked up the GVWR of the 2018 Winnebago Vista and it looks to be between 16k and 18k which means that for a rear sway bar you would want the #RM-1139-146. For the F-53 chassis like what your RV has this will make the biggest ride quality…
