I am looking to add a steering assist system to my rig (such as Safe Steer, Safe T Plus, etc.). I would welcome suggestions for the best systems, including pros and cons for them. I know that some folks have issues with the effectiveness of the systems and the effect on normal steering. Thanks for any help.

I have a safe-t add on. It helped with steering while driving but most of all when I had a front end blow out it helped in controlling the rv.

Please tell us what chassis you have and what you would like to improve/change.

I have Steer I have Steer Safe, Works great on my Bounder

I would also like more control from potholes (California has some Terrible roads) and the possibility of a blowout.

Rear track bar. Most steering issues are a result of the rear axle and chassis not staying centered. We installed a brazzels rear track bar and semis dont sway us at all now, not even a hint. Cured all wandering issues.

I have had a Safe T Plus on the last two coaches and like them.

Agree with Mike,

Start with a rear track bar.

Make the rear sway bar adjustment often discussed here.

Then, yes, a steering dampener such as the Safe T Plus.

So, what brand of steering dampener do you recommend ?

With sway from passing 18 wheelers might be better off with a rear trac bar. Steer safe,safe t plus and the blue ox on the front will be a nice peace of mind in case of a blowout.

I did research and decided to purchase the Blu Ox Trucenter. We liked that it was electric and the way it works and is made. I also looked at what others said about it online. I cannot say anything about how it works since I just received it and it is in a box in my front hall :-)
