I installed a quadrabag rear suspension system last year, and now have some new shocks to install as well. I'm contemplating installing rear sway bars (the coach only comes with a front bar from the factory). I have found on a Caspro website that they have a rear swaybar setup, as well as the one JimK supplies. Are these the same kit, or are there more than one type of rear swaybars available?
Anyone with this setup, did it make a big difference in the way the coach drove? Thanks for the input and advice, I don't just want to spend the time and money if not needed.

George,
I have not tried sway bars on my 23' with Harrison 4-bag, and I won't.
We've had reports over the years from those who did try that combination
and didn't like it. The 26' my son has came to me with dual rear Caspro
sway bars -- I dislike them very much because they're so stiff that it's
difficult to level the coach: raising a single wheel raises the opposite
one almost as much. We recently removed one of them to alleviate some of
that problem. When we install the quad-bag system I won at GMCMI Dothan,
we'll remove the other one..
I DID move the Caspro front bar from the 26' to the 23' and consider that to
be an improvement -- but not a major one; I wouldn't pay for it.
JMHO,
Ken H.

George,
I have used the Caspro unit and the Addco unit.
The maindifference is in the stiffness and adjustability when leveling
the coach.
Some will say that you need not use 2 in th back. If you go with the
heavier unit you might be able to get by.
The ones we stock is a lighter unit and I find that it works best with
2 rears and still vevel it.
