WDH Hitch Thoughts

[Dr0idattack]

I pull a 27’ Retro 265BH, and last year I was using an Anderson WDH (no sway I think it’s called; with just chains instead of trunion bars.) I never seemed to get it tuned right. Big trucks and fast cars pushed me around slightly, and my setup couldn’t get beyond 60 mph without things feeling squirrelly.

Today I installed an Equal-i-zer (12k, e4) and took it for a test tow. Wow, what a difference! I easily got up to 70 with no white knuckle situations. I have one adjustment I want to make in order to get more weight on the front axle. But overall I have to give a recommendation to the Equal-i-zer over the Anderson.

Sounds great. Remember to check your trailer tires for their speed limit.

Great point.

I double-checked and my Karrier Loadstars are rated for 81. But I don’t want to go that fast. I’ll be happy with a little under 70. Plus I think I’ll check the heat of the tires on our afternoon trip today to see how they’re doing.

I too have the E4 Equalizer and LOVE it!

how can you tell the difference between an E2 and an E4?

the E4 has built in sway control.

The E2 has sway control.

I like my Reese dual cam. It's really good on a winding highway. You can feel it pull the rear of the camper into the curve. Watch some youtube videos.

Looks like a nice system. How is it backing up? Do you have to disconnect the sway control? Looks like it's a couple to a few hundred more than what I paid for my E2 10k once you buy the Reese WDH and then the dual cam sway control.

Not sure about the Reese, but I don’t have to unhook my E4 when backing up.
