Re: Travel Trailer Hitches
I am not a fan of Equalizer brand. I don't like the steel on steel design, and they are noisy. Properly set up, I have not seen Reese not work. I would like to see how your set up is.

Camping World did the initial setup. They sold me the trailer in May of this year. They told me that I could pull the trailer with a 05 Yukon Denali and that was not the case. The vehicle was no match for the trailer. I purchased the Tundra and I have no problems whatsoever. I took the trailer there for winterization and everything was looked at but the wind and the semis made for a shaky ride.

Re: Travel Trailer Hitches
In my MH on four-lane highways, as a semi approaches from behind in the left lane it pushes the rear which tends to steer me into his lane. I correct for this by steering right a bit. When it gets forward to my driver-side door, it does just the opposite.
I suppose this same thing happens happens with a trailer only there's a pivot point added in there, so the steering actions would be opposite of mine.
All of these actions and reactions are minor, though.

I have 2 friends that have the equilizer and they love it. I does not get rid of all the sway. I have had good luck with rear air bags and air shocks for sway.
