HI everyone. I bought a 2015 Winnebago Vista HE 26 last September.
I just got down here to North Carolina. It was a rough ride. I think I need to upgrade my sway bar and new shocks. I felt like a bobble head.
Any thoughts or suggestions??
Thanks and have a great night/day.

Welcome to the forum! There is a ton of information in the forums that would help with your question. It would be better to ask in the applicable one. The bobble head is a byproduct of any towing, just different degrees. My wife was shocked the first time she rode in the truck towing..... nothing like a trailer to demonstrate the laws of physics!
 
Weight vs. tire inflation can have a big impact on the quality of your ride. . Here's a good start:

RV Tire Safety: Cold Inflation

The author, Roger Marble, is a retired tire engineer who also posts on Winnieowners and IRV2 as Tireman9. There are a lot of posts about inflation that aren't necessarily accurate but Tireman9 knows his stuff.

I wouldn't jump to the sway bar or other suspension mods until you've dialed in your tire pressures and dealt with the shocks if they are indeed shot, although I wouldn't think a 2015 rig would need new shocks.
