We are thinking of having a Steer-Safe system installed, but would like to hear from RV owners who have had the system for awhile. All good or bad comments on this product will be appriciated. Happy Traveling ....

Depends on what you are trying to achieve by installing it. I can think of other things I would buy first if handling is an problem. Why do you think you need the Steer Safe and how do you think it will improve your coach or your driving experience?

We read an article that said the system helped handling in high winds, truck passings & tire blowouts. we do not have the wide stance front tires on our coach, so we think this system may help. Thanks .....

Had it installed in my 32 foot coach and it was all that you mention. Upgraded to a DP and have none of the problems that the steer safe fixed in my gasser. I believe it was well worth the investment.

Had a 89 Pace Arrow on the P-30 chassis and put the Steer Safe on it. It did help the handling. Drove straigher and did not follow ruts and such as badly. Thankfully we never had the chace to test it on a blow out.

We had steer safe on our last 2 motorhomes, both were gas P30 chassis and it help with the handling. I felt it was worth the investment. Have not seen a need on our DP.

had it installed on 32ft Bounder two years ago. although the coach handled good with out it. now it is much better in wind and if a truck passes you and much much better on a rough road, never been sorry I put it on well worth the money.

We put it on our 1999 Ford chassis MH with the V-10 and it made a world of difference. When we traded for our 2004 MH with the Chevy workhorse chassis, we did not notice as much difference. Now we have a Diesel MH and we put a different steering damper on it and it made little difference in the handling. Just remember, I don't think you will ever get the tight steering and feel that you have on your car. Every MH that I have driven has a little "wanderlust" in the steering. So I would recommend that you get the SS installed. You will not regret it. s/Toby

Thanks All, turns out I have a CM P-30 chassis. Waiting for my Steer-Safe assembly to arrive @ Camping World who will then install system for us. Thanks for all the help & comments. Happy Traveling .....

I had a front driver's side tire blow out at 55 mph on my class A a few years ago. The MH had steer safe on it. It shimmied and shook after the bow out but never left my lane or wandered at all. We just slowed and pulled off on the side. I credit the steer safe product not my superior driving skills. (LOL)

I installed SS on our rig and I feel that it has made a noticeable difference. We recently went on a trip to south-west Texas and had almost constant winds, sometimes very strong. The Steer-Safe was a great help keeping us in our lane. You won't regret it.
