Are you experiencing fatigue while driving your motorhome? Could it be issues with your motorhome's leaf spring suspension, like side-to-side vibrations, wandering, rut tracking, and lazy steering.  Roadmaster TruTrac bars offer a solution to improve your RV's handling with easy installation utilizing factory holes, no drilling or welding necessary. By connecting the chassis to the front axle, Roadmaster TruTrac bars eliminate excess axle play without impacting suspension travel, providing precise and predictable handling, boosting performance, safety, and driver comfort. These bars, featuring polyurethane bushings, are designed to fit popular chassis models on the market, ensuring stability and long-term durability for RV owners seeking improved control and reduced driver fatigue.

Tackling Motorhome Handling Problems

Understanding 'wandering', 'rut tracking' and 'lazy steering'

Wandering is when your motorhome drifts off course without any steering input, forcing you to constantly make corrections just to stay straight. This frustrating behavior often points to loose steering components or poor alignment. Then there’s rut tracking, where the vehicle seems to “lock onto” grooves in the road, tugging the wheel and making you fight to stay in control—a common sign of worn-out suspension parts. Lazy steering, on the other hand, is when there’s a sluggish or delayed response between your steering wheel and the wheels themselves, creating a loose, disconnected feel. This can be caused by issues with the power steering system or worn steering gear. Not only do these problems chip away at driving comfort, but they also add to driver fatigue and can compromise safety—especially on long journeys.

The effects of side-to-side vibrations on your RV

Side-to-side vibrations, often called lateral shaking or swaying, can seriously affect both your comfort and your RV’s structural health. These persistent shakes often lead to porpoising—a see-saw motion where the front and rear of the RV bounce in opposite directions. The result? A rough, jarring ride that’s hard to control. Over time, this kind of motion does more than just rattle your nerves. It can loosen cabinets, interfere with electrical systems, and even cause long-term structural damage. Your suspension system also takes a beating, wearing out faster under the constant stress. For passengers, the ride becomes uncomfortable and disorienting. For the driver, it demands extra focus and effort to stay in control—leading to quicker fatigue and potentially compromising safety on the road.

Introduction to TruTrac Bars

Roadmaster TruTrac Bars: Revolutionizing RV Handling

Roadmaster TruTrac bars are a game-changer in the realm of RV handling, offering a robust solution to the common problems faced by motorhome owners. TruTrac bars work by firmly linking the chassis to the front axle, helping to keep everything in proper alignment and cutting down on the side-to-side movement that often causes handling problems. The result? Sharper steering, greater stability, and a smoother ride—especially on rough roads or during gusty winds. By tackling the root causes of wandering, rut tracking, and lazy steering, TruTrac bars give you a more controlled, predictable driving experience. This means less strain on the driver, better road safety, and a motorhome that stays confidently on course. For long journeys, that translates to a ride that’s not just safer, but far more comfortable and enjoyable.

Easy installation with no compromise on Warranty

One of the biggest advantages of TruTrac bars is how easy they are to install. Designed to fit existing factory holes, there’s no need for drilling, welding, or complicated modifications—just a simple bolt-on process that most RV owners can handle with basic tools. This smart, non-invasive design not only saves time but also protects your RV’s structural integrity. Even better, it won’t void your vehicle’s warranty, so you can upgrade with confidence. For RV owners who want better handling without the hassle or risk, TruTrac bars offer a worry-free solution that delivers real results.

The TruTrac Bar Advantage

From Excessive Axle Side Play to Precise Handling

Excessive axle side play is a common culprit behind poor handling in RVs, making the vehicle feel loose, unpredictable, and harder to control. TruTrac bars tackle this problem head-on by creating a solid link between the front axle and the chassis. This firm connection dramatically reduces unwanted movement, giving the steering a tighter, more precise feel. Drivers immediately notice the difference—smoother turns, better lane control, and greater confidence, even in tough conditions. Whether you’re navigating winding roads or dealing with strong crosswinds and passing trucks, TruTrac bars help keep your RV steady and responsive. By reinforcing the suspension’s rigidity, they unlock a level of control and stability that transforms the entire driving experience.

Maximized Stability and Longevity: The Role of Polyurethane Bushings

Polyurethane bushings are a key element in the performance of TruTrac bars, delivering enhanced stability and long-term durability to your RV’s suspension system. Unlike traditional rubber bushings, polyurethane is highly resistant to wear, oil, corrosion, and road debris—ensuring reliable performance that lasts. Their increased firmness minimizes movement and deflection, helping to maintain proper alignment and drastically reduce side-to-side sway. This added stability shines on uneven roads, during sharp turns, or when battling strong crosswinds. Better yet, their durability means fewer replacements over time, making them a smart, cost-effective upgrade. By incorporating polyurethane bushings, TruTrac bars provide immediate handling improvements and long-term savings, giving RV owners peace of mind and a smoother ride mile after mile.

Driving Comfort and Safety – A Non-negotiable Benefit of TruTrac Bars

The advantages of TruTrac bars go far beyond better handling—they also play a vital role in improving driving comfort and safety. By stabilizing your RV and making its movements more predictable, these bars reduce the constant corrections and overcompensation that typically wear down drivers on long trips. With less physical and mental strain behind the wheel, drivers stay more alert, focused, and less fatigued—key factors for safe travel. In critical moments, improved handling translates to quicker, more precise responses, offering an extra layer of protection. Passengers benefit too, enjoying a smoother, more comfortable ride without the harsh jolts and swaying that can cause discomfort or motion sickness. In the end, TruTrac bars make every journey safer, more relaxed, and more enjoyable, making them a smart investment for any RV owner who values peace of mind on the road.
