Had my dual cam on my last trailer and then transfered it to this one. Many many miles with no issues and really pretty simple to set up. I have a hard time understanding all these issues that others have with this system. Pretty basic really.
It's because no one installs them correctly. If everyone read every sentence, they may get installed right. But what seems like simplicity to us isn't to the mechanics at the RV dealerships and hitch shops I've been at.
I just went out and found out that they put my cam install bracket at 18" when it's suppose to be at 19 3/8". I'm also suppose to have 12" to 13" of working room for the bars or 6" - 7" underneith my 6" frame, I only have 10" total working room for the bars or 5" underneith my frame. It was installed completely wrong at every point. Yet these are professionals that do this everyday and are suppose to know what the hell they're doing. Now I have to get them to pay for the damage they caused!
At least I can get the Blue Ox pretty adjusted pretty close in my unlevel, wavy, downward slanting asphault driveway. I wouldn't even attempt this with the Reese DC. I'd want to have that on perfectly flat, perfectly level, concrete, which I don't have. I also don't have anywhere I could use without being driven off of private property.
