He was quite adamant that there was “no way that a Taurus could properly handle a 30’ Airstream!”
One gentleman who participated in the test drive program had owned Airstreams for 30 years and had towed them with a succession of Chevy Suburbans. Last summer, I was hosting test drives at an Airstream Rally in Ohio. So why do we like the old tired and true hitch design and if it is so good, why are so many people running off to buy these new designs? The main reason is that 90% or more of the people who have a conventional weight distribution setup have never towed with a hitch that is properly configured.

On these rigs, after applying all of the recommended adjustments, the only solution was to remove the hitch and install a completely new, albeit, less expensive solution. Nor did I tell them that we had already removed a few of these hitches from rigs that people had brought to us after experiencing towing problems. I did not bother to go online to respond that I had tested the new hitch when it was first introduced and found some issues with it. The RV enthusiast felt that a new hitch design was far superior to what we had installed on a vehicle featured in one of our towing seminars. Recently, I was criticized on an RV blog for not recommending the latest gizmo in hitches and for being from the ‘dark ages’.

Take your towing to the next level with 4-Point Sway Control™. Put them all together and you have 4 points of positive friction working for you. The rigidity of the sway control brackets allow the dual rotational friction sway control to safely and effectively hold the trailer in line behind the tow vehicle and stop sway before it starts. The spring arms link the rotational sway control to the sway control brackets and distribute trailer tongue weight. The rotational friction sway control is activated by downward pressure from the trailer tongue and upward pressure on the spring arms. Rotational friction stops side to side sway before it starts. Larger brackets for 8 and 10 inch trailer frames are also available. Our standard sway control brackets fit trailer frames up to 6 inches tall. The sway control brackets are the innovative link that makes the Equal-i-zer® hitch 4-Point Sway Control™ system so effective. The sway control brackets work much like 2 “add-on” sway bars, but with more sway stopping pressure and less hassle. Second, the forward and back friction of the hitch arm on the bracket serves as a secondary sway control system.
First, they work in conjunction with the rotational friction sway controls to eliminate trailer sway. Innovative rigid trailer attachments serve two purposes. This kit has everything you need except the hitch ball and the tools. 4-Point Sway Control™ is superior to “add-on” friction bars or cam-type systems that are used with conventional or chain-style weight distribution hitches.Įqual-i-zer® offers a unique two-in-one design that combines weight distribution with sway control in one easy to use unit. Equal-i-zer®'s 4-Point Sway Control™ is a combination of 4 positive friction areas that work together to stop trailer sway.
