no sway weight distribution hitches
In the last 1 1/2 years I've gone from friction (dealer installed) to a two way sway control then to a weight distribution hitch with friction bar. None of these controlled the sway I was having. So I looked for a different way to go. Most people say that the Hensley is the way to go. The problem I have is to do with how much they weigh. So with that I looked at the Andersen No Sway Weight Distribution hitch and looked at others all during last winter. I used Youtube to help to see how each one set up (difficulties). After researching and researching I decided on the Andersen No Sway Weight Distribution Hitch because of how much it weighed compared to the others. After I put it on (about an hour) I took it out for a test run to check to see if there was any sway. My trailer was empty with only the battery, propane tank and spare tire. I had no sway at all. My first trip camping this didn't come until June but I didn't have any issues with sway. So I feel it was the right decision to go with it. My problem is I can't pick up really heavy stuff so at about 50 pounds I felt it was right for me. In the past I had to use grease on the ball but with this one no grease is needed. All I can say is so far so good. My hitch is an updated one that keeps the friction material in it. My tow vehicle is a 2017 Chevy Colorado Z 71 4 X 4 diesel with towing capacity of 7600 pounds max. I'm well in the limits because my 2018 Coachmen 21 foot travel weighs in at around 3600 pounds loaded.
