There shouldn't be play in the steering. Mine doesn't have it. This is a mechanical issue and should be corrected before steering stablizer (if any).
I personally would not be the least bit tolerant of play in the steering. The steering box may just need adjustment. Or it may have worn suspension parts. Find someone capable of repairing your concern of "excessive play in steering."
Frankly, at least on my 2011 E450 11300 lb class C, I can feel no handling issue a steering stabilizer would correct. There is already a factory stabilizer (shock absorber) installed on steering linkage. The steering has absolutely no sign of oscillation or shimmy. And I'm not particularly easy on the handling of this chassis if you've read some of my other posts.
I am also intolerant of this play in the wheel, which is why I have started two different threads. We had a 25ft 2010 Chateau before this one, and with roughly the same amount of miles on it as this 06, it also had zero play in the wheel. This 2006 with low miles is unacceptable the way it is.
I would go out right now and see if I can get a half turn out of the box, but I severely twisted my angle yesterday, so it's going to be a while before I can do much of anything. It sucks as we had planned on leaving on a trip Sunday, and I twisted it getting out of the motor home. :(
