My first tt was a 195RB, same frame as the one in the beginning of this thread. After owning for less than four months, decided to WD the hitch. Was pulling with an F-150. Mine was an UltraFab 1000/10,000 cap round bar and chain setup. Used it on both subsequent tts.
Last purchase was from Gander's parent, Camping World. They set up my WD hitch with the tv and tt parked across a drainage dip in their parking lot. I moved the rig to a level spot, went back inside and told them to try again. They drove it to the back, about 40 minutes later it came back out on the parking lot and they parked it across the SAME DIP. "There, it's fixed" they reported. The previous dealer I bought from set up the WD hitch correctly before letting me leave the lot.
It was level as I looked at it, and as I pulled out into N. Broadway I noticed a lot more of the propane tank cover was showing than on the unit I just traded...
Got out to El Reno on I-40 and stopped to check things out. TT was traveling three inches nose high, and they had raised the coupler FOUR HOLES in receiver adapter....and chains were only two over...I had been running four over with lots of tension...there was virtually no tension on the bars. Got home over 200 miles away and lowered the coupler two holes, added washers to get the right angle for the bars and after a couple of hours dealing with the inch and an eighth bolts holding everything together finally got a satisfactory 'level' on the tt and tv.
I have since switched to Andersen WD and it works just fine, with built in sway control and I can now back up without disconnecting sway control.
I no longer trust anyone to set my tv/tt up that I am driving.
