The only time I find the alko stabiliser helpful is when passing or being passed by a large artic (or similar), when the air buffetting can be considerable for a short period of time ... the stabiliser significantly reduces the recover time of any wobble.

Also check the caravans suspension! If the dampers aren't working correctly then the van will have more bounce therefore more wobble which in turn means snaking.
