Weird thing about buying a equalizer hitch localy is no one carries any. Also none of them ever sell anything for sway control. I talked to the owner of the main dealer out here and he said all the years he has been in buisness he has never sold a receiver like that. Also very rare he sells a friction sway bar. He had one in stock and you could see dust on it. Been there for a while. I'll hold off for a while and see how it goes. If a trailer is setup properly no sway control should be necessary. Nice to have though for just incase.
Hmmm, could be that he doesn't sell any because he doesn't carry any.... and he doesn't carry any because he doesn't sell any.. :h
I will tell you that I was prepared to buy mine from a large RV retailer and even possibly have them install it. Then I saw that they were almost $300.00 more than I could buy it for from RVW. I'm not interested in paying that kind of premium.
On a side note... curious as to how much agreement you will get with the statement about a properly set-up trailer not needing any sway control. The only deciding factor I have seen where sway control is considered optional is when your TV is wayyy more size/capacity than you need, which isn't as common as a lot of people first think - especially after they start crunching numbers... or after their first long-ish Interstate trip with big-rigs blowing past.
Good luck, Dean
