Sway Bars for 2021 Thor BH 35 Motorcoach

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Thor BH 35 Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis and looking for sway control products. The latest model that I can find in your parts listings are 2020. I am assuming, until I learn otherwise, that the 2020s and 2021s are the same? 1. Whats better and more effective? Sway bars or axle stabilization? 2. And what are the differences between parts #1139-90 and #RM22FR? they look to be about the same thing with quite a cost difference. I appreciate the information, thank you.

Based on the GVWR of your 2021 Thor BH 35 motorcoach the rear sway bar you'd want is the part # RM-1139-190 which makes the biggest improvement to ride quality and stability.

Then for a front bar you'd want the part # RM-1139-148 which would provide the second biggest improvement.

Answer 1

According to Roadmaster, the #RM55VR Reflex Steering Stabilizer is compatible with vehicles equipped with a steering damper. The steering damper will remain in place once the steering stabilizer is installed, and will work along with it.

I checked with Roadmaster and you can use steering stabilizer #RM-RBK24-RSSC on your RV built on the 2015 Ford E-450 chassis with the V10 motor. I have also linked our help article on stability control for heavy duty vehicles.
