Anti Sway Hitch

I've invested a lot of time and money in this camper and I wanna make sure towing it comes off without a hitch. Get it? "Cause what I wanna talk about is a hitch. You wanna match up the tow vehicle and the thing that you're pulling no matter what, you can make your towing life a whole lot easier by using an anti-sway hitch. I've got the Blue Ox hitch here and I've got one component on the truck, I've got a component on the trailer, let's look at hooking this whole system up now.

The directs that come with the Sway Pro are great and they're gonna help you get the hitch on the truck right, the position here on the trailer right for these components and you wanna make sure you follow those directions accordingly. My first use of a anti-sway weight distribution hitch was on a horse trailer and I couldn't believe the huge difference it made in the ride of that whole rig. Got a couple things going on here. Anti-sway, that's self-explanatory, tall trailer like this, that's gonna help especially if you get in a crosswind and the trailer wants to move, it's gonna keep everything more stable. Weight distribution, you'll see when I torque on this bar in a second, it helps distribute the load better between the tow vehicle and whatever it is that you're pulling.

So here's how this comes together now that we're all put together here on the truck and the trailer. This bar goes in here, let this relax, count links according the directions. Use the wrench they provide and we're gonna torque this up which puts pressure up on that bar. Then when I relax the jack, it's gonna distribute the pressure between the trailer and the truck. When you do this in reverse, we wanna take everything apart.

Same thing we wanna get just a little bit of tension under that jack, take a little bit of the load off get in the position that we are now. Get the wrench on here, pull that spring loaded clip out, pin, let that back down and we'd be ready to disconnect. It's a really good insurance policy to add to your vehicle and your trailer to make sure that when you're going down the road like I said, comes off without a hitch.
