Getting Rid of my Dual Cam system
I really like this system but it's such a darn pain. It's so complex no one, anywhere, has any idea how to adjust it or install it. I just had it transferred to a new trailer and new bars also were...

Can't speak to the other hitches, but the Equal-i-zer is about as complicated as an anvil. :? I mean, it does take a little setup time (a few hours in a level parking lot) but once it's set up it's a piece of cake to hook up and disconnect.
fwiw, I don't think it's fair to say that no one knows how to set up or adjust the dual cam setup, there are more than a few experts right here on this board! And I don't mean internet experts, I mean people who actually do really know how to do it right. :) I'm sure if you are up to the task they could walk you through the initial setup. In my opinion, you are WAAAAY better off doing it yourself instead of having a dealer do it anyway, no matter which brand you buy.
with my Equal-i-zer, I can jacknife until my bumper hits the trailer, the hitch never binds. That said, I always disconnect the bars before backing into my driveway since it's at an extreme angle (in addition to a tight turn) and I worry about the severe loads that the weight distribution bars would put into the A-frame of the trailer. That would be the case with any WDH though.
Quite frankly, I don't worry about being a few hundred pounds over my hitches rating while I'm going under 5mph parking the trailer.
