Best WDH with Sway Control for Small Trailer

I'm looking at the Wildwood 195BH - a 2013 or 2014 model. What do you think is the best combo WDH with Sway Control and what weight bars should I get?

Equalizer?

Reese Dual Cam?

I'm not considering a Hensley or a Pro-ride.

    X2 on the Andersen hitch. The Andersen should be able to handle the OP's trailer just fine. Outstanding sway control, good weight distribution, and unmatched towing comfort.

  • According to brochure the dry tongue weight is 403 pounds so I figure about 500 pounds or a bit more loaded.


    I'd guess that you will be higher than that. Dry tongue weight has no options included. Once you add a battery and 1 or 2 propane tanks to the tongue you will exceed 500lbs, and that doesn't include anything packed ino the trailer yet. Keep in mind where the storage areas and the water tanks are located. Anything ahead of the axles will increase the tongue weight.

    As for the hitch, you can't go wrong with either. IMHO the Equil-i-zer is a bit easier to set up and deal with but makes more noise.

  • You asked the best sway control and that would be the Hensley Arrow. They make a junior version for smaller trailers.

    Use their web site to determine which bars to go with.
