TruCenter Steering Control

Anybody have any experience with this, the 2012 Georgetown we just purchased has it plus the Bilstein shocks installed. I haven't taken delivery yet but I did test drive the coach and didn't use the system. I was just wondering how it worked and what to expect.

Thanks....

Edit...I did find this thread but not much information there.

It is not a magic fix for steering but a device that will keep you going down the road straight. You do have to have a frontend alignment first to make it work better.
I have installed a SteerSafe which is a mechanical system that does the same. Had it installed at the manufacturer in Deming NM.
I now have over 23,000 miles on it and it still seem to help.
Here is a few pictures.

I have the Blue Ox Tru-center on my 2008 Georgetown and it works great. Just as Iggy said there's no magic bullet for your steering, but it does help keep you going down the road straight. Really helps in high winds and when you pass or are getting passed by big rigs. The thing I like about the Tru-center is you can readjust the steering wheel center while you are driving. I've used it when going down long stretches of road with high cross winds and it really helped. It is easy to re-center as well.
Hope this helps.

I found this doing a Google Tru-Center steering control video search, pretty good explanation of how it works.
