Reese Dual cam vs Equalizer
First off I am not trying to beat a dead horse here to decide which is the better hitch. I have not owned a TT for more than 10yrs but thinking about getting another one. Probably been that long since...

The EQ, even though they claim 4 points is really only 2! And those are at the L brackets. The pivot points at the hitch head do very little.
You got it backwards. The friction between the bar socket and the head is where the majority of the work is done. The fact that they sell L bracket plastic pad things pretty much confirms that they are not counting on much friction happening here. Otherwise the'd use brake material instead of plastic lol.
as stated on the Equal-i-zer website:
"Use of the Sway Bracket Jackets does slightly reduce the amount of friction sway control provided by the L-bracket assemblies. However, this reduction is minimal, and in most applications barely noticeable because the majority of the Original Equalizer Hitch’s integrated sway control comes from the rotational friction surfaces of the spring arm sockets in the hitch head. This sway control is not affected at all by the use of the Sway Bracket Jackets. The L-brackets will still provide a certain measure of sway dampening friction."
