I just bought a Four Winds Citation 2006 with 12,000 miles on it. My first venture was a nightmare because it was virtually impossible to keep the RV on the road. I have added the Safe-T-Plus and ...

We took it for a long drive up the highway and the difference is night and day! OMG!! I can't believe they would allow it to leave the factory the way it was. It drives so peacefully now. There is little to NO steering corrections needed now. This is the best $200 I have ever spent. My wife drive as well and immediately noticed how much tighter it is.

Just for the benifit of others who may happen upon this information, this successful outcome was achieved without any front end alignment activity on your part, right?
No I haven't had an alignment done. It was very windy today driving to the beach and I had to fight it to stay in my lane but I was still able to maintain 60 mph. I never would have been able to do that before. I had to lock all 6 wheels due to a bad crash that happened right in front of me. I have a Honda Fit for a toad and the rig stayed straight and I was able to control it from 60 mph to zero with all wheels locked. The ABS was pumping like mad. I left a very long line of black marks. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. I will get the front sway bar and steering stabilizer before we go to Canada in Aug. I think those three items will get it to where I am comfortable. I don't think an alignment will help much for me. It's hard to tell. It's a guessing game as to what will work. The rear sway is cheap and simple to install so I started there. Also my original sway bar is a joke. If your original rear sway bar is about the size of your finger than I would say start there and replace it. Other manufacturers might not be as cheap as Jayco. I have a lower spec Redhawk so I am not surprised to find such a crazy small sway bar on. The replacement is HUGE!
