Dual Cam Setup
I'm working on setting up a new Reese Dual Cam setup. I think I need a 1" extended ball, and wonder if I would benefit from a 2". Here's are some photos of where I'm at now: Side view, I think...

I interpret Mrekim's past comments to indicate that he has only used the newer 1200# DC kit on this trailer since new, unless he is going to tow without the DC. Then he uses his 800# bars since he does not have to redo the chains!! He can verify yes or no.
Not swapping chains is part of it. Not using the heavier bar is part of it too. I'm trying to minimize bending snap ups and making the face of the A-Frame worse. It seemed like the lighter bars would be a better match to that end for the time being.
I've been moving the trailer around so the frame and DC setup can be inspected and don't want the people looking at it to have to mess around with the chains either.
I don't know if I would go on a camping trip set up this way. We're also monitoring the A frame with a GoPro camera and watching it in real time as we tote it around. That get's old after 30 or 40 minutes... and impossible in the dark.

Again, I feel that the new 1200# system I was sent by Cequent does not work with my earlier (gold) style DC, and I am kinda pissed at them for not considering that I have the narrower cams since they had copies of my orig purchases. I didn't see the differences until the first snap up bent, and I started researching the problem. My fault, yes, but still doesn't help with the problem!!!
I missed that, I stand corrected (and edited to show) in my statement above. Maybe that's one of the differences between the classic and the current version - the cam is wider to support larger bars. Did you call them and ask to have the cam arms or the entire DC system replaced?
