We didn't like the effort it took to keep the 210P from wandering. We have had new tires installed, front end alignment and even the steering system checked. So we were reasonably confident the vehicle mechanicals were okay.
However, it took some steering effort to keep the Roadtrek going straight. Generally, on the highway, the driver needed to wrestle the steering wheel with very frequent input. This led to fatigue and shoulder discomfort.
I did two things to help the driver. 1- Add a thick steering wheel cover. This reduced the gripping requirement. 2- Add a Steersafe (r) steering stabilizer.
After 5,000 miles, both G and I are in agreement that the steering stabilizer is a significant improvement and that much less effort is required. However, as is true with all things, you experience might be different.
The installation was simple. I contacted Steersafe and arranged an appointment. They came to our campground in Las Cruces, NM and installed the components in less than an hour. (Note: There are different versions depending upon the vehicle. the photo above is not of the components installed on the Chevy chassis).
According to the website:
"How Does It Work
Steer Safe is installed on the vehicle’s front steering arms and clamps on to the front axle. No welding is required. It’s simply bolted on. Steer Safe Stabilizer’s patented oscillatable fulcrum bar makes it the only true steering stabilizer on the market. It provides up to 400 pounds of preset tension on each front wheel working against any outside forces, helping to keep the front wheels pointed straight, even in a blowout situation.
Unlike hydraulic shock absorber stabilizers that hook onto a vehicle’s tie rod, Steer Safe offers protection from the front wheels to the steering gear box. No extra steering effort is required lessening driver fatigue. Maintenance is not required because Steer Safe is equipped with Delrin bearings which never require servicing."
