I just recently bought a 2014 mesa ridge 320res, and a 2013 ford f250. The rv dealer installed an ezlift wd hitch rated to 10,000lbs and one sway bar. I'm still experiencing more sway than I'm used to. Is there anything that I can do to improve on the situation, or is it something I am going to have to live with?

Did you try turning on the trucks sway control, Fords have it, it activates the trailer breaks when it detects swaying to keep it strait.

My thought is first you need a better hitch. Single friction bar will not do.Secondly weigh the entire rig to ensure you are properly balance within your tow ratings. What is your tongue weight?

I failed to mention that my rv is a 35ft travel trailer and dry weight is 7500lbs. Tongue weight is 900lbs.

I would suggest reading your hitch setup instructions and set the whole thing up yourself. Dealers are not the best spot for a trustworthy intial setup.....in my experience.The benefit is, you get to know your rig a whole lot better and know it's been done RIGHT.All the best,Mike
