If it didn't have one you will be pleasantly suprised. I made one for a Ford E-350 Chassis 27' class C and it made a huge improvement in wander.

DIY trac bar is simpler to do than most people think. I built one for my coach, to correct a problem I had when towing. The swival bearing ends can be purchased from any bearing shop. Everything else can be purchased from a hardware store.

You are right Dave but I think it is a bigger job than most of us want to tackle --That is evident that the article did not get many hits--I think most RVers are little above the middle class so they pay to have stuff done and Yes there is a good amount also of us DIY guys who tackle most of the projects--My worst was changing springs on the MH so I didn't have to screw with bags again-Don't know if I would do that again-Rich

You don't know how many jobs I've said that about.

I saw your blog but could not find anything that metioned the trac bar?

Nor I. I have a F53 chassis, but would still like to get some ideas.
