Hi there Mahana and congrats on your new motorhome! Big Class A rigs like the 2019 Forest River Georgetown 36B5 can be a chore to drive, so it's smart to upgrade the suspension. The best way to do so is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar because it acts as a brace between the frame of your motorhome, and is constructed with higher-strength, thicker steel than OEM sway bars.
This means it has much higher roll stiffness to combat sway - the higher the roll stiffness the better sway control - and its placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for the greatest improvement in handling. After that you can further improve the ride by adding a front anti-sway bar and steering stabilizer, and here are the fits for all three parts on your '19 Georgetown 36B5:
- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-149
- Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148
- Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer # RM42RR
So the rear anti-sway bar is the best option, followed by the front anti-sway bar and then the steering stabilizer, and the combination of all three parts will dramatically increase the handling and comfort of your motorhome, allowing you to enjoy your time on the road instead of exhaustively attempting to keep your rig centered at all times.
