I currently have a Husky Center Line WDH that was installed by the dealer when we bought our Jay Feather 25RB in 2021. Trailer weighs approx. 7200 lbs, tongue wt. approx. 700 lbs. The Husky works well for weight distribution and sway but is a bear to hook up and disconnect because even when I raise the rig (using the elec. tongue jack) to the maximum travel (even with a few blocks under the jack foot), I bust a gut getting the tension bars on/off using the provided leverage tool. I've been putting up with the effort until now. However, as we approach another camping season, I am now presented with some physical limitations that will prevent me from simply gritting my teeth and pushing my way through to hook up and detach.
So, I'm looking into swapping out the Husky for a WDH that might be easier to use. I've narrowed my search to the Blue Ox SwayPro because, while all the WDHs I've found require raising the rig to reduce the hook-up/disconnect tension, the Blue Ox looks like it may require the least physical effort to accomplish the task.
I intend to ask my dealer (great customer service) for their input and to install whatever I finally choose. In another life, I'd do the install myself but that isn't an option these days. Meantime, I'd appreciate any/all insights/comments/advice. Stay well and safe travels.
I'd appreciate any insights/comments on the ease-of-use with the Blue Ox Sway-Pro or any alternatives that might be easy to use. Thanks mucho and safe travels.
