I did the "Cheap Handling Fix"!
I recently did the "Cheap Handling Fix" on my 2013 Winnebago Vista 35F. I am impressed and much happier with the handling so far! Now to get the rig weighed and tire pressure adjusted accordingly! ...

So I got under the RV today and had a look around. I noticed the rear swaybar also has 2 mounting holes like the front. Unlike the front, the second hole is used with a bracket that wraps around the swaybar link in the outer hole and tied into the swaybar inner hole. My guess is this was the plan for the front but for some reason Ford did not think it was necessary. I now highly doubt that this second hole on the front swaybar was made for an "adjustable" sway bar. My RV is a 2011 Vista 26P.
If you go to another RV forum, you will find an extensive discussion of the "Cheap Handling Fix" for the F53 chassis, with statements from many people who have done it. I won't mention the name of the forum here, you can google F53 cheap handling fix and find it, or PM me and I will send it to you.
Taking care of the brackets on the rear links is very simple, just reverse them, and reinstall with the link on the rear hole and the bracket bolted to the front hole. No problem.
If you strongly doubt the efficacy of the "Cheap Fix", you are, of course, free to ignore it.
