I have had two Equal-I-zer hitches on two different TTs. Towed a 24' with a Jeep GC and had no sway issues. I have been very pleased with both. With my current set up with an Equal-I-zer, a 30' TT and a Ram 2500 CTD, I can comfortably tow at 70mph if I want to buy the fuel, (I have LT E rated tires on the TT). Both the Equal-I-zer and the Reece DC are popular on this forum and, for good reason. Set up right, they perform very well. A lot of times, I just remove the bars on my hitch and leave the head on the truck. That way, I don't have to lug it to the storage compartment where I keep it. I only take it off if I am going to be at one place for more than a few days or will be parking in town where parking spaces are tight. Cover the ball to lessen the amount of grease you get on your pants when you bang your shins on it. I'm a slow learner but, after a few painful encounters between my shin and the hitch head, I got a bit more careful.
One thing I would recommend, given your situation, would be an electric tongue jack. Makes hooking up and unhooking so much easier.
Thank you! The electric tongue jack is a must have before spring. Just trying to decide if I want to really spend the cash and get one of the sway controllers that changes the pivot point as them seem pretty fool proof but pricey.
