Can someone tell me what is missing?
Under my, new to me, 1994 Four Winds 5000 Class A are these things hanging down, like something that used to be attached there. Maybe a stabilizer bar or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Picture attached.
Thanks!

Can't really tell, but it looks like the sway bar is just hanging down and disconnected.

Sway bar, you need a mounting kit for the ends and new rubber mounts.
Wire harness, it's hard to tell now close it is to the tire but it shouldn't be dangling like it is.

Get under there and follow from one end to the other. If it is going up and over the rear ens housing and down on the other side then yes it is the rear sway bar. Lord only knows why or how it got disconnected.

Definitely sway bar is disconnected on both ends. And your driveshaft looks to have a dent in it.
Did you hit a road hazard? Is it vibrating going down the road? Definitely get a mechanic to put eyes on it.

As mentioned, anti sway bar links are missing.
One end bolts up to the chassis and the other end goes thru the hole with bushings and washers top and bottom.

Tie up the hanging electrical wire while you are under there as well.

sway bar. You should be able to get the part diagram from the chassis part store or manufacture?
I think you are miss the links, nuts and rubber bushings.

Thanks Bill, Mnc, Argosy, Ray, Rob and Twinboat for your assistance. I greatly appreciate it, truly I do. I have been trying to find a repair manual, not to mention parts, for this RV but have been unsuccessful. It's going to be a long project to get everything fixed up on her, but I am a very determined DIY'r , albeit a thrifty one!

Maybe a matter of perspective but it looks like if you rotate the sway bar back up, it will hit the exhaust or is the exhaust pipe farther over?
Those links don't just fall off, someone left them off...

It looks like the links are there, just disconnected…or at least what’s left of them. That whole area needs a good going over by someone who knows what they are doing.
