Equalizer or Reese Dual Cam
It is time for a new hitch setup. I Have a 25' TH and a Ford Excursion. I am trying to figure out which hitch to get and I have it narrowed down to 2 different models. Reese Dual Cam and Equalizer....

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....
Reese has a shim kit consisting of two shims. Available hereat etrailer.com. The shims go between the hitch head and shank. You shouldn't have to shim the cam arms.
Forgot about the hitch head shim! Lol I have one on our set up as well....
As for the cam arms, this is the first I have owned/used the new(er) style model (had the old u-bolt), and noticed there is play where the cam arm pivots on the bracket. Wasn't sure if this was "normal" on the new version (just bought this past July).
