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 ...

so what did I do today to my class C... replace the front and rear sway bars with a pair from Hellwig! Massive sway bars compared to the stock ones.
Only issue with installing them is they are heavy! Just about all one person can do to hold them in place as you tighten bolts! In the rear my MH has extra leaf springs - 2004 31ft Jayco. So that bolt holding the away bar is a pain to get out as it hits the leaf spring before it's all the way out. Takes some work as the blind nut is held on the frame with a clip. If you need to pry the clip loose so the nut can allow the screw to come out at an angle. Then if you need to just use a nut on the inside instead of the blind nut.
In a couple of days we hit the road for a 18 hour trip and will see how well the sway bars improve the drive.
So far I have replaced the upper and lower ball joints, replaced the steering damper, installed 4 new Bilstein RV shocks, and an alignment.
Each has made improvements to the handling (reduced wandering).
