Steering Stabilizer and Rear Sway Bar for 2011 Itasca Cambria E-450
Question:
Ive been a mid-size pop-up pull-behind camper for 12 years. I recently purchased a 2011 Itasca Cambria 30 ft. Ford E450 V10 with factory levelers. Its just great! 33,000 miles. When driving on the interstate usually about 65 mph the front end just seems to be a little loose and wanders just a little bit. You have to always be steering and making tiny corrections almost constantly. Ive been watching a number of Youtube presentations lately and everyone seems to point to a steering stabilizer. The two most talked about is the Roadmaster product and the Bilstein product. There also seems to be a lot of talk that replacing the stock bumpstops with Sumo Springs as a good additional enhancement that would possibly help. What are your thoughts ?

Expert Reply:
A Roadmaster steering stabilizer like the Exact Center part # RM47MR is going to fix the wandering issue you are having and is exactly what you are looking for from your 2011 Itasca Cambria built on a Ford E-450 chassis.
Before I would do a set of SumoSprings a rear sway bar like the Roadmaster part # RM-1139-147 would be what I recommend. For motorhomes the biggest and best improvement you can make to the ride quality and stability is with a rear bar like Roadmaster I mentioned.
