I can't help you with the Georgetown or Baystar, but in my research prior to buying and after test driving a few, I determined that if the MH was on a Ford F53 chassis (I think all new gas Class As are) these upgrades would be something I would do as soon as I could after purchase. The 2016 F53 chassis comes with a front track bar and a 6 speed trans so that was something I specifically wanted.
I would suggest test driving whatever you are going to buy or something very similar. Get it out on the interstate and let a few trucks pass you at speed and see how it handles. Hopefully you can test drive with a good cross wind blowing also - I did. If you feel as though you could drive it like it is for 6-8 hours to get where you are going and arrive not completely worn out, then you may not need anything.
I have done the "Cheap Handling Fix" on mine since I put on the track bar and steering stabilizer. We went camping last week and the handling is quite acceptable now.
