I've been reading quite a few complaints about the Equalizer brand brackets shifting and this seems to be at least a sizable problem as it's all over the internet.
So I'll likely go with the Blue Ox system.
The Andersen system is nice but I'll let someone else test it.
Not much a fan of those side mounted friction sway arms so I'll pass on those. I'll just wait this out. Perhaps even Reese may have a solution. As long as I'm not out of money I may entertain that but Blue Ox looks to be the next step.
Thanks everyone.
Reese does make a pretty neat system that is similar to the Equal-I-zer. Here is a link

I have no experience with the Blue Ox system but lots of folks are happy with them.
I am sure that you will find something that will work for you.
On Edit... Equal-i-zer did have some issues with the brackets moving around but within the past few years they have supposedly redesigned the L brackets and this is not supposed to be an issue.
The Anderson hitch is a neat idea, I am not 100% on board with it right now, but am open minded about it.
Thanks!
Thanks, even Equalizer brand parent company puts out a 2 point sway WDH like Reeses 2 point sway system.
I think I'll stick to the Blue Ox but found that dealer's tech installed the cam install bracket at 18" which is for round bars, not Trunnion bars, which are needed to be at 19 3/8". So it's all in the air, I may see about going with the Round bar Strait Line system since I don't want holes all over my brand new campers A frame.
The Blue Ox just seems like a much simpler and easier way, but I have to go the cheapest right now. We'll see.
