Coach Sway Stabilization

[lneagle]

Concerned about being buffeted side to side by wind while driving. Camper World says after market devices can be installed front and rear of my Class A 32 ft HR Vacationer to off-set this.

Described as allowing sway only slightly and then returning to stable.

Problem is quoted, installed, at about $2700 ($1200 front - $1500 rear) for this.

Any other ways to mitigate this swaying or are there any alternatives at lower cost.

Ineagle,

Welcome to the FMCA Forum.

We really need to know what chassis you have to be able to offer sage advice, but yes, there are larger-diameter sway bars with much upgraded polyurethane bushings. And on gas coaches, track bars front and rear.

Jack,

I know that http://www.rv-chassis.com/, owned by an ex-Monaco chassis engineer has some upgrade suspension components for both 4 and 8 bag Monaco/Roadmaster suspensions.

Thanks Brett. I do have an 8 bag suspension.

Jack,

If you really want to solve this problem take a long hard look at irv2 Monaco Owners group discussions Steering Box Play- Sheppard M100 SHIM or Swap for a TRW ? and Wandering, sway bars, alignment, ride height, oh my!!
