Reese SC Weight Dist. vs Equalizer

I have a Reese Dual Cam and love it. I towed my TT 150 miles, mostly highway, last week and barely knew it was there. 53' Van trailers, 28' Doubles, none of them caused sway. It was windy and gusty.

those events DO NOT CAUSE SWAY and would recommend you so some more research in what sway is and it's sources.

From what I see, the Equalizer is nothing more than a glorified friction device. Which is more of a sway reducer after sway happens as opposed to a true sway preventer < < - - apparently that's not a word..... like the the Reese DC. For reference, I also hauled a similar trailer the same day without the DC and couldn't take my hand off the brake control due to sway issues.

again you need to do some more research and understand how these various hitches work and the principles they employ since your belief that the DC system is some sort of sway preventer is TOTALLY FALSE. Both the Equal-i-zer and DC use the same principles of friction to mitigate the effects of sway.

I'm not familiar with the Blue Ox.

You don't list the Gross Weight of your trailer but you want a tongue weight of at least 12%, 15% is better. And make sure your trailer is NOT nose high. Dead level or a bit nose down.

EDIT: I have used both the Reese Trunnions and Round Bars. Most people seem to think the Trunnions are better but I find the round bars easier to install. One big benefit of the round bars is that they lock into the hitch so they don't fall out as you are hooking up the chains.
