camco weight distribution hitch

fixed linkhttp://www.amazon.com/Camco-48058-Elite-Weight-Distributing/dp/B005SB6S3Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390281366&sr=8-1&keywords=weight+distributing+hitch+with+sway+control

I found this on Amazon. Looks like a great deal, I was wondering if anyone had used one. It is about one third the price of others I have seen.

    Sounds like a good set up to me... Based on this info.

    That's very similar to the setup I had before I got a new trailer. My sig has not been updated and still shows my old hitch and trailer. Properly adjusted, it will work OK for you.

  • I have the EZ-Lift but with the 14,000 lb spring bars and I have been quite happy with the dway it works. I have one anti sway bar and my trailer pulls nice and straight. I paid about the same thing and bought it on amazon.
  • I towed with one for about 7 years with my previous trailer. It was a Sunnybrook 26CKS and had a tongue weight of about 900lbs. It worked fine but I eventually added the old style Dual Cam sway control system to it. Here is a picture of it with the Dual Cam system.
    I would have no problem with the one you linked to on Amazon as long as your trailer is around 25ft long and the tongue weight is under 1000lbs.
    You would need to add an adjustable shank to go along with the hitch head.

  • Looks to be a standard and very basic WD hitch and friction bar...probably an Ez Lift as late bloomer posted.

    First, I'd ask you, what are you towing with it?...length of trailer?

    That's the old EZ Lift hitch and it works OK if properly setup and adjusted. I towed with one for about 9 years. When I bought my new trailer, I upgraded the hitch to an Equilizer with built in sway control. You can find them online for about $485 with free shipping. The Reese Dual Cam is another fine setup. Both are better than the EZ Lift style IMO.
  • From what I gather, it is manufactured by eaz lift, for camco. The folks on Amazon rate it highly, I was just wondering if anyone here had used one.
  • I'd never use that to tow with.

    Camco is fine for water filters and tire chocks, but towing equipment?
