Sway Bars and Suspension Enhancement For a 2018 Holiday Rambler Vacationer XE 32A

Question:

Hi I just bought a 2018 Holiday Rambler vactionerXE 32A class A motorhome and I am looking to fix the sway when a tractor trailer passes me. I find myself all over the road. It has only 5,000 miles on it and the front end is good. What recommendations do you have to correct this issuse? Thanks in advance

According to Holiday Rambler your 2018 Vacationer XE 32A is either going to be on a 2017 or 2018 Ford F-53 chassis with a GVWR of 22,000lbs. You can confirm that this information is correct with the chassis tag posted on the wall next to your drivers seat.

The Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148 will replace your factory sway bar. This bar is constructed of thick 4140 chromoly steel for superior strength and uses polyurethane bushings for increased stability over traditional rubber on the factory bar.

The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-149 adds a 2nd sway bar behind the rear axle for increased stability. Before you order this be sure to check your factory U-bolts on your Vacationer as you may need to get longer bolts. The sway bar adds a 1/2" thick plate below the axle so be sure there is at least that amount of threads showing on your bolts. Otherwise we have the Extended Square # RM-590050-00 or Round # RM-590050-10 that you can order depending on your U-bolt type.

If you want to dramatically improve your ride quality I recommend adding the SumoSprings Front # SSF-170-40-2 and Rear # SSR-180-54-1. These add additional support to the suspension from the added weight of everything inside your motorhome. These work well with the Roadmaster Sway Bars to make your ride much more stable and nearly eliminates the unwanted sway you are experiencing.
