Rear Anti-Sway Bar Option for a 2006 Pleasure-Way Class B RV on a Chevrolet Express 3500 Chassis

Question

Question:

Is anyone familier with a rear swaybar that will bolt into a 2006 Pleasure-Way Lexor class B RV? Its essesntially a 2006 Chevy Express 1 Ton. I can locate a swaybar for the Express van, but im concenred that RV items such as the rear Onan generator in location of the factory spare tire negate the use of a traditional Van swaybar, and necesitate somthing made specific for the Pleasure-Way or Roadtrek folks. Thanks -

According to my contact at Roadmaster, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar, # RM-1109-150, will fit a Class B motor home built on a Chevrolet Express 3500 Chassis such as your 2006 Pleasure-Way Lexor, but the size and the location of the generator will need to be examined.

The sway bar attaches to the rear axle and to the outboard side of the frame rails just behind the rear axle. My contact informed that as long as you have about 5 inches of available space behind the rear axle and there is nothing blocking the outboard side of the frame approximately 5 inches behind the rear axle, then this sway bar will work with your motor home.
