Our First Class A (Itasca Suncruiser) Tracbar Brand?

[Alan17]

We moved up from a small class C and purchased a super clean low mile 1995 Suncruiser 29RQ, Chevy chassis from a reputable dealer. Dealer fixed a bunch of small stuff as part of the deal. The only disappointment was that I discovered that the converter/charger was bad after our first weekend Trip so I replaced it with the progressive dynamics unit.

I put the steersafe unit on the front and that made a huge difference in the handling especially with wind. Took our first long trip (1100 mile round trip) and was very happy with our new to us class A. Averaged 9mpg (Better than our small 20' class C Ford 460)

Next will be a rear tracbar to help with tail wag that I believe is causing some of the "steer all the time" syndrome. Looking at the SuperSteer product from Henderson's.

I would love to hear about other's experience with rear tracbars and brands?

Before spending the money have the alignment checked with the unit loaded for a trip. You may be amazed at the difference.

You should google DIY tracbars OEMY;s Diy will come up --A lot of us made our own trac bar-A few measurments and a little labor and you can do it yourself.If there is a race shop near youi they will also make one for half what you would pay to just buy one and install yourself-I made mine for a 1991 Bounder coming off the u-bolts on each side --WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!--Rich

A properly constructed DIY track bar, or one from a manufacturer, is one of the best handling mods. The typical leaf spring rear leaf spring suspension has slight looseness of individual components which can be exaggerated by the large overhang; combining to create tail wag. A track bar eliminates almost every opportunity for side-to-side suspension play and it doesn't really matter which one you use (although a track bar that reaches from one side to the other is theoretically better than one that attaches to the differential)
