Reese Steadi-Flex Hitch
Hi All,
Brought a new TT and was planning to purchase a Reese Stead-Flex. It is sort of a clone of the Equalizer.
Instead of metal to metal contact, the Reese Steadi-Flex has two surfaces for each of the bars that are "automotive grade friction pads"
Reese advertises these pads offer "up to 10 times" the resistance of a metal to metal surface (such as equal-i-zer).
Now my salesman tells me he strongly recommends equal-i-zer because when the "brake shoe" design of the Reese Steadi-flex gets wet it looses its' resistance. Where the metal of the equa-l-izer does not.
Anyone have any experience with the Reese Steadi-flex having reduced sway control when wet?
Thanks for your input and time,
Dan
