Equalizer E2or E4

Hi Folks,

From what I read online, both distribute the weight and both have sway control. The E4 is almost double the price of the E2.
Any opinion on what I should buy for a Roo 23 feet

Thanks

    The Equal-i-zer by definition is arguably the noisiest WD system on the market ... a good thing since you then know it's working correctly. Don't like the noise, don't choose an EQ ... instead consider a Blue Ox Sway Pro which you won't hear. :B
  • Both WDHs are from Progress Manufacturing Inc.
    But the E2 is made in China, while the 4pt Equal-i-zer is US-made.

    I prefer to have the 4pt Equal-i-zer for my 23SS.
    IMHO, the E2 is more for smaller/lighter trailers.

  • Our dealer recommended & installed the E2 for our Lance 1685 (21' 3800# dry weight, approx 5000# loaded) with our Toyota 4 Runner. We have the 600# round sway bars. We're happy with the recommendation after 10,000 miles+. Being a newbie, my guess is that the TV & trailer combination will influence your decision. I will say the E2 is VERY noisy -- snap crackle pop -- took us a while to realize that it was "normal" and not falling apart every time we backed into a spot. Not sure if this is common to all WDHs since we only have experience with our E2.
