Equalizer or Reese Dual Cam

shimmed the WDH to take out play. The only thing I do get affected by is strong gusting side winds, but any WDH is going to be affected to some degree and you need to slow down. A TH may not be a good fit for a Reese DC tho. because of the amount that the TW can vary.

What part of the wdh did you shim to remove play? The one thing I noticed with our DC is the cam arms have a little play to them. Plan on trying to see if I could shim those at all. I know I am crazy.... but I would like to see a "hybrid" DC system, a combination of the old u-bolt bracket with the new style adjustable cam arms....

The "modern" DC system is new to us (had the original u-bolt model) and passing semis or semis passing me, set up seems pretty darn solid, but I have noticed the darn wind as well. I wonder IF part of it could be the Reese Titan shank I have due to the length of it. Feel the side wind like you mentioned, possibly due to the higher leverage of the longer shank.



Chinook,

The receiver hitch was mentioned due to the factory model not being as stout as the aftermarket hitches. Check the max tw rating for you factory receiver hitch. From what I recall reading here, I think the rating isn't even 1k lbs with a wdh. Some who have that rig will know better though.
