Weight distributing hitch Poll

What brand WD system do you have? This poll is open to anyone who uses a WD system, not just travel trailer owners. Ten is my limit on poll options so if you wish to elaborate on which type or style hitch of the brand you have please do so.

Love my Reese Dual-cam. Easy to set up and use. Offers a nice piece of mind while towing.

Equalizer 4 point - Got a good deal on it with the trailer ( new ) - No complaints whatsoever. I love that the whole setup breaks down quickly and can be stowed easily in the trailer.

Voted Husky, but should be more specific as I have the Husky Centerline with "active sway control"...not the more traditional Husky WDH w/ chains and fiction sway control.

When I bought the TT I pushed hard for an Equal-I-zer, but the dealer being a Husky distributor talked me into the Centerline. I was skeptical at first but now I am very satisfied with the hitch system.

Even though I have a 5th, I voted Reese Dual Cam since my last camper had that. Once adjusted it worked well, but it took me quite a while to "dial it in". I did use a friction sway bar with it too, and the combination was pretty good.

4 point equalizer. Haven't tried it yet but i was kind of set on the dual reese. Heard some good things about them but the dealer also didn't sell them. We were sold on the equalizer and since then i've been doing some research and found there also well liked. We'll see. We bring home in a few wks.

We went with the Reese, got a pretty good deal when we rolled it all into the price of the TT.

That`s a weight distributing hitch! You should have paperwork for the hitch, and it would be good to know what kind you have should you need a part for it. And so we can talk about it here!

i thought i would chime in seems everyone else with the equalizer has the 4 point sway control. i bought the cheaper e-2. has 2 point sway control. have not pulled it much so far but about 200 miles or so and am very happy with it. i have had 1 windy day and lots of flying tractor trailers, and little to no feel as they pass. ill post my weight pics on my page from the "cat" scales the other day.
the set up so far seems great. all but 20lbs of front axle weight is replaced with the set up. and about 540lbs added to the rear axle. im no pro but it looked good to me lol.

I believe Reese and Drawtite are the same company, someone please correct me if I`m wrong.

Anyway Dave, now you know what you have if any of us ask.
