Yes, it will make a heck of a difference. I just built and installed mine this week. Why in the world they would put a track bar on the front and not the back also evades me.

Glad things went well and you got you baby home! Exciting day for you guys!

Thanks for solving my treasure hunt for ladder.

I gave up tree climbing several years ago..

Yes. Apparently, as per video, there is a sway bar installed on Generic Ford Motor Home Chassis. However, this aftermarket item..I believe, is almost a required driving safety item.

I did not pay any taxes at pickup. NC will hit me with $1,500 I think.
Hope yours works out OK.

treasure hunt #2. Where's the converter charger for battery charging. I see the fuse box on right front corner of bed. Could it be below the upper fuse panel compartment there?

I found that the bunk ladder is an "option" supplied by Thor, Part #FM4767

Yes that is it.

It did NOT work out for me. Camping world sent a check for the taxes I paid. First of all since I was out of state why did they even charge me tax knowing I could not register the title without paying them. Ohio BMV will not take a business or personal check, must be certified check or cash. They said they could accept a letter of guarantee from the bank but that wasn't going to work because the bank name is not anywhere on Camping worlds check! SO suffice to say I still can not get my tags transferred. I called camping world and of course they won't call me back. I will never ever ever purchase from Camping world again. This is the absolute worst rv buying experience I have ever had in my 20+ years and 7 brand new rv's.

Sorry to hear the problems you are having. Sounds like the dealer didn't know how to handle an out of state purchase. Hard to understand because they must do them at least occasionally. I lucked out buying and picking up in Florida, I think. They do a lot of out of state purchases.
I didn't feel lucky driving the unit 689 miles home though.

Hope your satisfaction with the 29.3 makes up for your hassles.

Contacted Blue Ox today. They do not have a Tiger Trak for the 29.3 yet.
May have to make one, a huge task for me. I am a "beat it to fit, paint it to match" kind of guy.

Definitely want to do the Tiger Trak and the dynamic wheel balance.
Any input on Roadmaster or some other brand?

I love the coach, no issues there. I finally got to talk with the general manager there and they are next day airing tomorrow a check in my name to pay the taxes. That will conclude our business. I have been in contact with the Marcus rapid response team, they contacted me to see how they could assist me. They asked me to send an email detailing my issues. It will be discussed at an executive meeting with team members and CEO Marcus of camping world/goodsams. They can't fix what happened but can address it for future customers.

So I will put all this behind and enjoy th new coach!

I believe they misunderstood the issue.

This Blue Ox tiger trak system is for the Ford Motor Home Chassis. It's called the F-53 Chassis. It is available as per the video in my post# 108 about it. The 29.3 has nothing to do with the Blue Ox Tiger Trak.

I suggest not trying to make one. Their grade of steel bolts is key to safety.
Buy one at the RV Upgrades Store or here.

I was wrong, I contacted "Etrailer" not Blue Ox. Sent them the chassis info, but you know how that goes. Thanks for the web site info above.

Any thgoughts on the Blue Ox steering stabilizer for the front, TruCenter®?
