1988 Terry 18' trailer, about 2800 lb's, small but room for my cat and me.
curious if anyone would recommend torqlift or Timbrens?
I have an Equalizer hitch with single sway control
Double check the loaded weights on the camper. The base models of trucks often have low GVWR. With the ATV in the bed and the trailer tongue weight you might be getting close. You're quite possibly okay, but still make sure the weights work out.
Does the truck have the OEM receiver? If so, ditch it and get a better frame mounted receiver. The OEM junk uses the bumper to transfer weight and they are awful.
Good luck and happy camping.
