I have installed several of the Reese dual cam WD hitches starting in 2003 with the first. They are a very good hitch. The setup will take a little more understanding to do it correctly then other brands. Once installed and adjusted correctly, the hitch will perform very well and in my view, better then any of the other high friction WD hitches. That said, there are other brands that are good too, just not as unique as the Reese.
The WD hitch is only one part in a towing setup. The hitch will not correct for low tongue weight on the camper, soft side wall truck tires, soft suspension tow vehicles. And neither will any other brand of high friction WD hitches.
If you are going with the Reese dual cam system (Straightline), I strongly suggest you get the trunnion bar hitch and not the round bar WD hitch. There is much more hitch head tilt adjustment and more sizes in WD bars to fit it with the trunnion bar system.
To match the right hitch and parts to your system, please provide the tow vehicle make, model and year as well at the camper. Let us know on the camper if the ball coupler is mounted on top of the A Frame or the bottom. Also, measure the height of the A frame side rails. This information helps get you the right setup the first time.
Hope this helps
