Can someone advise me

Just throwing this out there....., the photos suggest that this might be one of those cases where a Round Spring Bar style WDH isn't ideal for the lower frame profile of the Hummingbird TT.

Just curious...., I wonder what style WDH's other 17RK Hummingbird owners use and amount of ground clearance they experience below the spring bars.

Don’t know what brand/type trailer that is, but it sure seems to have a very low hitch when it’s level.

Here's a picture of it on level ground.

OK. Much better in this photo.

Yes, looks a little more normal.

Hi all, Just go to YouTube and look for trailers without sway bar. When driving over 45 M/hr or 80 Km/hr and maybe less, you are just looking for big problèmes.

Good camping season,

This will give you most of your answers about sway. I drove semi for many years and seen on road many trailers with swing from left to right and turn up side down.

Have a nice and safe camping season.

Rustic Eagle - Since we go off road quite bit with the RK, I went with the Recurve R3 for ground clearance.

FYI, I have a Hummingbird RB and never had or thought I needed a WDH or sway bar with the trailer only 3000 lbs. My tow vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee and can often drive at 70 mph. With much truck traffic or side winds I may slow down to 60 mph to have a more comfortable ride. Just hitch the trailer so it’s level on the road and you should be okay.

We have the same exact camper. The sway bar distributes the weight from just being on the hitch to using the frame. We pull ours with a Jeep Wrangler and don't use the sway bar. We bought a hitch that is way off the ground but keeps the camper level with the jeep. Our chains aren't even close to the street. We have a 5 inch lift on the Jeep. I can send a pic of the hitch if you want.

Probably way off the subject dragging hitch chains can start forest fires! Very dry here in Arizona. Thanks
