Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Installation - 2018 Ford F-53 RM-1139-145- Video
Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today you're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster rear anti-sway bar on our 2018 Ford F-53 Chassis Motorhome. Now, whether you're new to driving a motor home or you've been doing it for a while, you'll realize real quickly how unstable they feel and just kind of how much body roll and uncomfortable the ride is. Because when we're going down the highway, let's face it, there's a lot of area here for that wind to catch, and we end up getting pushed around. So we end up fighting the steering wheel, trying to stay in our lane, or if we're going down some bumpy roads, we ended up getting jostled around. By the time when we get where we're going, we're extremely tired. Not to mention everybody in the back's getting tossed around. more

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Installation - 2019 Ford E-Series Cutaway- Video
Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today, on our 2019 Ford E-Series cutaway, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster rear anti-sway bar. Now, our motorhomes are big squares that are known to be top heavy, which can be really difficult to drive straight down the road, especially on those windy days or on that bumpy terrain. Well, that's where the rear sway bar is going to come into play. It's going to help stiffen up that chassis and help eliminate that sway in the motorhome, making it a lot easier to keep in a straight line and drive without worrying too much. Now, since the sway bar is in the back, it's really only going to help combat that sway here in the rear of the camper, but to help offset that and do the same thing upfront, I'd recommend the Roadmaster front anti-sway bar.Now, let's go ahead and take our motorhome on the test course. more

It's going to take a lot of that pressure off, and we're not going to have so much wind, feeling like it's pushing us around, which means we can relax more and not fight that steering wheel. So here, you can see the difference between our factory sway bar and our new Roadmaster. Our factory one is going to be an inch and a half in diameter, whereas our Roadmaster is going to be an inch and three quarters in diameter. more

When it leans, the driver has to fight the steering wheel. It causes fatigue.

Part number RM-1139-149. Customer: I've had it for five months now, and we've already put 10,000 miles on it, and when we drove from Kansas City to Minot, North Dakota and back, we've got a lot of crosswinds and stuff. And although this thing handles pretty good, when you get in the crosswinds and you get a lot of tractor trailers flying by you, it takes off and will try to push you off to the side and then, suck you back onto the road, and I didn't like that. So we started looking for some enhancements to enhance the handling and stability of it, and found etrailer online, and I had looked at them before for some other stuff years ago and used them. So I thought, "Let me check and see if they've got anything," and sure enough, they did, and we ordered it, didn't quite get everything we we're trying to get. more

Uneven pavement, ruts in the road, there's several symptoms like you're passing semis that start that sway in your coach. With our upgraded sway bar in place, we get a connection point from our axle right here up to the frame. more

Part number is RM-1139-147.Now here's our Road Master Sway Bar once we have it installed. Now this sway bar is going to do a much better job then our factory sway bar at preventing that side-to-side body roll. That's something that's typically going to happen if you're in severe crosswinds, passing an 18 wheeler, uneven road surfaces can cause the RV to lean a little bit side-to-side and ultimately that leads to you having to put more input into the steering to keep it tracking straight down the road.When we put on an upgrade this substantial you're going to have a noticeable difference in the way your RV handles so as you're cornering through mountain roads through stuff like that, you're RV will stay a lot more level, but also just in your normal straight highway style driving, a lot less driver input going in there. You're going to reduce the driver fatigue and you won't have to fight you steering wheel so much to keep going in a straight line.Now here's a good look at the difference you're going to have between the Road Master Sway Bar and your factor sway bar. The diameter of the factory sway bar is about an inch and an eighth. more

The Reflex Stabilizer installed, you can see of course it is going to do a good job of keeping our wheel from moving when we don't want to, but it also going to hold it in center. That way won't have to worry about our wheels being drug one way or the other. You can see as we go around the corners and it straightens back out, it returns to center much quicker, requiring a lot less driver input to get us heading the direction that we want to go. Here is what our stabilizer is going to look like installed. As you can see, really neat looking set up, you can really tell that you have upgraded this stabilizer with this set up. more

As you can see, our motorhome's going to sway back and forth quite a bit, and the swaying motion's going to add fatigue to the driver trying to always keep your vehicle in a straight line. You can see as we're going, even on a straightaway here, we're getting a lot of side-to-side swaying motion, and that's causing a lot of feedback in our steering wheel from the swaying action in the rear of the motorhome. As we go back and forth now, you can see that our suspension has stiffened up a lot, and our vehicle's not swaying anywhere as near as much as it did before. It's going to give you a better feeling going down the highway. We'll begin by loosening up the four bolts that hold our four u-bolt nuts, and we're going to slide a plate up on there, and we're going to put our nuts back in place. We'll go ahead, and we're going to loosen these all up. These are going to be rather tight, so you're going to want to use a nice long breaker bar to get them loose. more

Blue Ox TigerTrak Rear Axle Stabilizer Installation - 2016 Ford E Series Cutaway- Video
Today on our 2016 Ford E-450 motor home, we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Blue Ox TigerTrak rear axle stabilizer. Part number is TT2450. Right here's what our bar's going to look like once we have it installed. As you can see, axle bracket here gives us a great solid, sturdy connection point. That ties our axle directly up here to our frame. In doing this, we're going to eliminate the movement that we have here between the frame and the springs. That's going to give us a much stiffer rear end, so we're not going to have that wagging as we're heading down the road. more

Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Installation - 2006 Ford E-450- Video
Today on our 2006 Ford E450 with an RV body, we're going to review and install the Road Master rear anti-sway bar, part number RM-1139-147. With the manufacturer's sway bar, when we went over the uneven bumps we got a lot of body roll, because of the jostle and impact to the vehicle. With the new Road Master sway bar in place, we get a much firmer feel of the vehicle, not only in the steering, but also minimizes the body roll and impact from the uneven bumps or our parallel bumps, such as a speed bump. Now let's go ahead and show you how to install it. Now to begin our install, we need to remove the old or manufacturer's rear sway bar, that's just in front of and behind the rear axle. Keep in mind that each process we do here on the driver's side, is going to get repeated identically on the passenger's side, as all of our attachment points are the same. Now to start, I'm going to go ahead and spray the sway bar link - where it connects to the sway bar - threads so we can remove the nut. Over time you're going to build up with rust, dust, dirt and debris, and by spraying with a spray lubricant, you make it easier to remove them. Once we take the nut off, we can then go ahead and take off the metal washer, and the rubber bushing. more

It'll also assist in returning the steering wheel back to the center after sharp or wide turns. Alright, now let's go and show you how to install it. Now to begin our install, we need to remove the older manufacture's steering stabilizer. Start our removal, we're going to remove the two U-bolts that secure it here to the drag lane.

Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar Installation - 2006 Ford E-450- Video
Today on our 2006 Ford E450 Super Duty, we're going to review and install the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar for Motor Homes, part number RN-1139-115. As we go down the road, it'll reduce the body roll, tire wear and driver fatigue. Now, with the old or manufacturer's sway bar link installed, we had a lot of sway when we cornered going down our slalom course. With our new Roadmaster sway bar link installed, we've taken a lot of that body roll out and sway from the top-heavy of our motor home body. As the body rolls, the sway bar will push down to compensate and try and keep the frame and body together as they corner. With the manufacturer's sway bar when we went over the uneven bumps we got a lot of body roll because of the jostle and impact to the vehicle. more
