Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I have "steer safe" which I like very much. I use it on a 2002 Dutch Star diesel pusher. I bought it & had it installed by the manufacturer in Deming New Mexico. It is way less expensive than others & I can attest to it working well in windy conditions. This is one of the few products I have no trouble endorsing.

We thought it was worthwhile. We have a Safe-T-Plus, http://www.safe-t-plus.com/.

Will the installation of the steering stabilizer require a new alignment for the front end?

 No, but it has to be loosened to do the alignment and then reconfigured when done.  Not all techs doing alignments seem able to realize that or be competent about it.

Agreed with bjoyce.......Watch the videos in this link that Bill put up earlier.

It's pretty self explanatory and one heck of a good system.
