Steer Safe vs. Safe T Steer vs. etc....

Looking for reviews here, I am going to put a steering stabilizer, dampner, device on my motorhome and am looking for input from users. I have a 2004 National RV Seabreeze 1341 on Ford F-53 chassis. Steering is ok, and very little wander. Road irregularities and seams or grooves give some challenge but not to bad. Not much interstate driving yet so effects of passing semis not yet dealt with. But, be all that as it may I still want ot put something on for the safety aspect in the event of front tire blow out. Other benefits I am sure will come along. Looking at the internet sites for Steer Safe and Safe T Steer, I am inclined slightly toward the Steer Safe product. Seems that the mounting directly to the wheel assembly vs the tie rod would give more substaintial control. Also like the simplicity of it, mechanical spring device with few moving parts and no fluid to leak. Would appreciate any first hand experience from you.

    Just to add mud to the pot:
    Steer Safe = Old technology (put one on and it exploded on the first trip)
    Safety Steer = new Technology. ( Will work when it should)


    Exploded!? Old vs New!? Nonsense!
    I had Steer-Safe installed by the company in Quartzsite on a Class C and my current Class A. Total of 6 years experience. Both showed a substantial improvement in handling and control such as going off the edge of the road. Good Luck!

    "Nonsense!" Tell that to my wife. We had the Steer Safe installed at a truck repair center where they put on a lot of them on rigs. On our first trip in PA went over a bridge and BOTH sides lost the springs and the bar on the drivers side dug into the brake plate stopping me from turning left. We were lucky to get off the road.

    When we got home I called the truck center and told them what had happened. They said "it's happened before, we can order you new springs and a bracket for XX$$$." Steer Safe doesn't warranty their product.

    IMHO they are worthless and unsafe. Old Technology....
    So because the people who installed it wrong told you they have done them wrong before they are old technology?
