We have been getting a LOT of recommendations on how to make our 2016 Fleetwood Bounder 36E Class A motorhome drive more comfortably down the road, and the most recommended upgrade is a steering stabilizer. We decided on the SteerSafe system and recorded the whole install and test drive for you!
The SteerSafe Steering Stabilizer system is available at www.steersafe.com

When we looked at our rig, I looked underneath and noticed SteerSafe was installed. I mentioned it to the seller and he asked " What's a SeerStafe?" I saw the demos when they started manufacturing this system 40 years ago. It makes a huge difference to ease of operation and safety. I love it, you will too! 😁

Brought home my first rv last week. Said to myself this isnt nearly as bad as id thought it would be. This weekend, while inspecting the rig i came accross this contraption on the front. Took me a long time on google but eventually an rv forum from the early 2000s did answer my "what are the extra springs on my rv?" Question. Thats how i found your video. Cheers, keep the shiny side up!

I had mine installed in Demming, NM by the company. They came to the park and installed the system on my Class C. I asked about maintenance and was told an occasional check that bolts were tight was all I needed. They help but when it's super windy, I still get off the road and wait it out. Great action footage!

About 5 years ago I drove from Oh to Fl and then across the south to Tx and NM. When in NM met a couple who told us about Steer Safe, which is in Deming, NM where we were staying for a while. We had it installed at the manufacturer and were so glad we did. It was so much easier driving after that. I strongly recommend Steer Safe. Ours was on a 40 foot diesel pusher and it sure helped.

I have over 77,000 miles on my original rig and definitely make for a less streeful steering as they do help keep you still going straight down the road. You also forgot to mention if you have a front tire blowout it will help you keep the rig straight so you can make a safe exit to the side of the road. If you didn't have SteerSafe the blowout will cause you to fight the rig wanting to go inthe direction of the blown tire. Good job!

Plus it's a really heavy coach. Between the Tag and those huge balloon steer tires it really doesn't wander. Wind and Semi's don't do much either. Well, a really strong gust might push it some. Waiting to hear back from Safe-T-Plus on the mounting kit for my coach. Just exploring my options on what's out there. Thanks for posting.

Hello Five2Go Family! I have really enjoyed your sharing your journey so far. Also, I am SO GLAD you found these and installed them. I did the same thing about three years ago after watching a video from RV Education 101. There is plenty out there about the Steer Safe but not so much about the Safety Steer even though the company has been around for a long time. Anyway, I had them installed just to be a rebel and have been extremely happy with them ever since. As you mentioned, the amount of corrective steering that needs to be made is drastically reduced. Thank you for boosting my confidence on this decision! Have you looked in to the CHF (cheap handling fix) at all for your stabilizers? That was also a great benefit at really no cost. Cheers and best wishes - Mike

Interesting. Would like to hear from anyone who has this long term. My only concern would be if it’s putting a lot of strain on the power steering system but I can definitely see it would help with steering stability.

@Five2Go 4 жыл бұрын

There's no active strain when sitting or driving straight as the springs balance each other, so there's just some extra resistance when steering. It shouldn't be any different fundamentally than all of the other steering stabilizer systems out there and I haven't read or heard anything about them prematurely wearing out steering components.

@roydavis2242 4 жыл бұрын

Besides the two you mentioned, both Blue Ox and Roadmaster make steering stabilizers as well. The Blue Ox TruCenter Steering System is adjustable. I prefer that because you can turn down the resistance when you're in a parking lot and such and makes it easier when making turns. However it is not cheap. It's slightly over $1000 but I think the adjustability is worth it.

@Five2Go 4 жыл бұрын

Wow, that's steep! I haven't had any issues steering at low speeds so far, so maybe these are tuned to the lower end of resistance. Is there a dial or something that you added to the dash?

@Five2Go 4 жыл бұрын

I liked that there was resistance added to both wheels instead of one point somewhere along the steering bar. The mechanical side of my brain sees that as potentially more stable and it may even deal with really tiny movements independently. Regardless of what system you go with, it's a huge improvement!

@Five2Go 2 жыл бұрын

There's no steering adjustment after installing this unit as long as you make sure your wheels are straight when you install it. I think the other systems that use the gas strut require adjustment because it's putting a constant force on the steering bar whereas this one has the springs on either side "fighting" each other to keep the wheel straight.

Hi guys! I know this Video is a couple years old & that you've now upgraded your motorhome since, but was wondering if you were happy with the Steer Safe's performance while you had it? I've been looking at the Safe-T-Plus & the newer Roadmaster Exact Center, but I know that I did like the Steer Safe on my old rig & I'm just trying to decide if it's still a good choice or kind of an outdated product Would just like to hear your thoughts on how it performed for you.

The Steer Safe made a WORLD of difference on that rig. I've never had the other style with the strut tube, but what I do know is that every time I checked the Steer Safe it was still as tight as when I installed it on day 1 and it never slipped. I like the idea of huge hunks of steel helping keep things straight vs a single little strut and some tube clamps, but that's just me 😉

@Five2Go 4 жыл бұрын

Steering stabilizers of all styles have been around for a long time and I haven't heard or read about any of them causing premature steering system failure. The springs are mostly fighting against each other and tightening things up. The strut style stabilizers do exactly the same thing, just in a different way. It mostly feels like the slop is taken out of the steering wheel and things are just more responsive, it's not taking much more effort to turn at any speed.

That seems incredibly dangerous to me... if one those springs were to be knocked off - say by hitting something in the road - the wheel would jerk to one side which might actually cause an accident. I'll stick with the other type of system which is pretty much foolproof.

Removed it from mine. Horrid steering with it on. Great steering with it OFF!

Remember: you get what you pay for! I fear you chose poorly. Safety steer is a much safer system! It is a restrictive system that is based on hydraulics. Hydraulics can only flow through the size of an orifice at a certain rate. What you installed is a system that is based on Springs! If forces are great enough they will over whelm a spring system. Hydraulic systems are always superior to spring systems. They by nature limit how fast your steering system can be affected by forces greater than you can control.. Please reconsider your choice. Your family is worth the price Deference. Very concerned about your choice. Make sure your suspension system is aligned properly and set to factory specks. Than install the safety plus system! Make sure your steering system is centered on the high point when they do the alignment. If they don’t know what that refers too. Go to a shop that knows what that means... I have found that many shops don’t know or understand how alignment systems work. It’s scary how many shops don’t know what they are doing!!! Please, for the sake of your family, switch to the safety plus system. Pay the difference and know you are protecting your family with the best system available.... please Reconsider your choice. I share this because I want your experience to be safe and uneventful. Just so you know I am a trained master mechanic. What you shared scares me greatly!! I don’t want other people to install a system that is unsafe. Pease do not take offense at what I am sharing.. I can’t stand by and have people be influenced to make dangerous decisions. I mean only to be helpful. Best wishes for you and your family. I only want you to have safe and uneventful travels. Blessings to you and your family.

I think you're overreacting a bit, but I appreciate your concern. This company has been making these systems for more than 40 years so it is far from an unproven design. Also, it's not like I *replaced* a critical system with something that could fail and send me flying off the road, all steering stabilizers are just additions and they can all fail but it's not like a wheel is going to fall off if that happens.
