I am in Atlanta for 3 weeks and since the SafeT plus facility is close to my base camp I made an appointment for May 20th to have one installed. Hope I am as satisfied as you are with the stabilizer.

With the proper tire pressure, the safe t plus is a great addition to better feedback feel and reduced constant steer... I was skeptical at first but Im happy with the change. If you have an impact gun, its an easy DIY. Since I realized the MH is tracking straight... I need to re-align the steering wheel so it is straight as well... I hate a crooked steering wheel.
here's some more mods and pics...
I really wanted some aluminum wheels... but maybe next year, so I did the next best thing. Got rid of valve extensions and put solids on... excuse the dirty wheels.
The STS monitor...

that is correct blues... the new 143k3 bracket has that new gusset. The older bracket didn't have it and would crack... hopefully this one holds up. They simply call the stabilizer for our units the "Blue" one since it is for MHs.
I bought it directly from Safe T Plus... Kathy Doran <kdoran@safe-t-plus.com>
Kathy is the one that confirmed that 143k3 is the latest designed that is offered.

I wanted to see that mounting bracket in particular.
Thank you sir. You da man! You know you're costing me money, right?

I'm also thinking of purchasing and installing this steering stabilizer. I have an impact wrench but I don't have a lift for the motorhome. Is it possible to install this equipment without a lift for the motorhome? I don't think I am skinny enough to get under the motorhome.

You can use the front jacks to get it high enough in the air to get up under it. If I can you can I've got some 10K lbs jack stands I am going to use and a 35K lb bottle jack just for safety!

Finally installed an air horn switch... the button on the wheel is way to accident prone.
I tapped the mirror heater switch lights to turn the lights on/off on the air horn switch when driving at night.

I need to get in this thread, to make sure I receive updates . Lot of great stuff in here. I only have one mod to mention right now and I'm not sure if it qualifies as a mod but it was well worth it.
Bought a gel foam mattress topper from Costco (queen size, Palazzo 33.3) and it fit perfectly on the bed and makes all the difference in the world. I've seen these toppers all over the place but when I saw one at my favorite store (Costco) I finally made the plunge. Wish I would have done it sooner.
