EQUALIZER VS REESE SWAY BAR
I have a 30' Coachman and a Ford F350 pilling it. I want the best sway bar and am torn between Reese and Equalizer. Any suggestions

I now have had both. Just recently got the Equal-i-zer. I think the old link-chain in the Reese is easier to put on and take off when hitching and unhitching, but then you have to add the sway bar too. This system worked very well for us for years and years. My dad (in 1961) had this type of system, and never an issue towing (see my profile for a photo of that rig).
Now I have the Equal-i-zer. Hitching seems to be a little harder. It comes with the pry-bar to lift the bar up, but if the trailer-truck is jacked high enough, you don't have to use the bar at all. There's a couple pins that need to be installed, but then ... there's no sway bar to deal with, AND you can back-up without having to remove the sway bar.
There again, the Reese hitched easier, but the Equal-i-zer appears to perform better, but takes a little more effort to put on.
Hope this helps.
