Roadmaster steering stabilzer in class C

We have a class C 2501TS. Chevy chassis. Understand the Roadmaster steering stabilizer is good for a class A. Don't know if we need one It's on sale now at Camping World.
Wondering if it is something we should invest in it $350 ($450 w extended warranty). Appreciate feedback pros and cons

Read up on this thread form the Forester Forum.
Reflex works great.
Also recommend a motorhome alignment. (added caster)

??? The link leads to a discussion about taking an ocean cruise. Not chevys?

Don't know what casters means

Our MH is new and not having a problem. Just wanted to know if this would be a good investment to add on fir when we do interstate travel

Thanks!

I checked the link - it worked fine.
Don't know why it does not work on yours.
The thread is in the Forester section and discusses all these issues.
Wandering is when your front wheels get pulled in a direction due to road conditions. (Big rig grooves, transitions, etc.)
The stabilizer will help that.
My Chevy is a 2016 2251 and actually smaller than yours and the Roadmaster helped considerably.
You can read up on alignment nomenclature.
Additional Caster helps with centering of the steering when turned or keeping a straight steer with a wandering issue.

The stabilizer and adding caster can both do the same thing.

If you are happy with your rig- leave it alone.
Mine drives 100% better now.
2 finger driving ow- without winds.

The Roadmaster stabilizer is a much more "super" steering damper than aynthing that comes on a stock class c chassis. A very good upgrade.
BUT...
Camping World has a "sale" price of around $172.00. Amazon has the same part for $163.00, plus free shipping.
If you haven't learned by know, avoid CW as their prices are almost always higher than anyone else (Amazon, Dryer's, Tweety's).
Also, I don't know what CW is trying to sell you an "extended warranty" on it, other than to make more money for themselves. Roadmaster already has a good warranty on it, and unless you hit something with it, will last for many, many years. Their extended warranty is a scam/ripoff.
