Weight Distribution vs Sway Bars
I am told that some people have both a weight distribution hitch and a sway bar for their travel trailer; while others have told me that you only need one or the other. I just purchased a new trailer...

I want to state once again that the add on sway control friction bars are used by many and do the job just fine. I never said they were junk I simply stated my position that I prefer the built in sway feature of some leading WD hitches.
My brother probably did not read the directions. My comments came from watching him hook up one day. He attached the sway control and turned the crank handle. I asked him how much he had to turn it and he gave me this response that let me know it was sort of a guessing game. If he had read the directions he probably would have said something all together different.
There is no adjustment on my Equalizer. All of the fine tuning comes in setting it up to get the trailer level and to return weight to the front axle. The pressure on the bars to level and then transfer weight is sufficient force to help prevent/mitigate sway.
I am not saying that this is a better system it is just a better one for me. I really do feel as though they all work. Go with what you like the best.
