Safe-t-Plus

I adjusted mine by mounting a pointer on the dash in front of the steering wheel so that it was close to, but not touching, the steering wheel. Then I took the coach out for a drive on a good straight road, without too much crown.
Holding the wheel in the position where it tracked straight, I then put a mark on the steering wheel that aligned with the pointer.
When I got back home I used the front jacks to raise the front wheels off of the ground. Once off of the ground, and properly supported, I adjusted the Safe-T-Plus so that the mark on the steering wheel was in line with the pointer. That was it and 50,000 miles later it is still working great.

I would have an alignment done FIRST (yes, assuming an alignment is needed). I would not assume that the tech would loosen the Safe-T-Plus to take it out of the equation and then recenter it (which often takes several tries)

Because of the centering force of the Safe-T-Plus, it can be used to mask alignment, brake or tire issues. It can "correct" for a pull to one side that should be addressed by correcting the root cause, not using add on device to mask/correct it.

What I am saying is, when you take it in for alignment you EXPLAIN what you want done, or you could have the alignment shop install the Safe-T-Plus when doing the alignment. You HAND the Shop the Safe-T-Plus instructions.

The BEST way to install a safety plus is----install the Safe-T-Plus, get it as close to neutral as you can, then have the Motorhome alignment done. When they start the alignment they loosen the u bolts on the Safe-T- Plus. When they align the RV, when they get it to spec, they then tighten the Safe-T-Plus u bolts and the system is now set to trac true and straight. The bad thing about a Safe-T-Plus is, if you do not get it perfect when you install it will pull to one side. AND, if you do have an alignment problem it will make it worse. Doug

Well I would think so....If something is not right, it needs to be made right, or it will be wrong.

Bought the Safe-t-Plus(Blue) for my motorhome on Amazon last week. Blue was $547 and mounting kit $60 included shipping.

Well, half a dozen privet messages have convinced me to shop elsewhere. I just ordered from RV Upgrade store, good price, free shipping.

Blue @ 499
Mount kit for F53 @ 50

now will see what install cost from my mechanic.

OK, nobody is sharing. I'm ready to order, looks like Shockwarehouse is best, Any negative feedback?

Look at Amazon, and an internet google search. Anywhere from $300-$500.

Understood...was hoping one of you guys could tell me who the $300 one is.
