Hitch SetUp Question for new TT
Hi All: Just purchased a new Jayco Eagle HT 295DBOK and am wondering if I should add a second friction bar to my WD set up. Specs are: Truck - 2017 Ram 2500, CrewCab, Diesel - 17,200# towin...

Trip Report-
Just completed fully loaded trip yesterday. 3hrs, 170miles, though the Bershires and Adirondacks. Kept the cruise control on 67mph, tow/haul mode, auto exhaust brake mode. Truck did great bringing the TT up to speed, and also slowing it down.
No real noticeable sway, but it was a relatively calm day. Once or twice I did feel very little of what I call ‘vacuum pull’ when passed by a big rig, but nothing alarming. Keep in mind I had the dual friction bars cranked down a lot...made awful noises when making tight turns.
Was it as ‘care free’ as previous trips with the old camper? No, but then again, this was the first trip out, so i had my ‘radar’ tuned up pretty high.
I’ll report back should I encounter a situation where I think the dual friction bars are not doing the job.
