Reese WDH

I'm not sure which one to order Reese pro series rated at
TW 550 and GTW 10000
Or
TW. 550 to 750 and GTW 10000

My trailer will be
20 ft. Dry weights TW 400 and GTW 5200

Any opinions
Thanks
Dennis

    I have a pro series with the round bars. Started off with one friction sway, now I have 2 of them. It works pretty well, but I'd like to to be better. I wish I would have just started with a reese dual cam instead or a blue ox. But now thats going to cost me quite a bit, even if I can sell my current one to offset some of the cost.

    If you are using two friction bars now, then I suspect you will notice little, if any, improvement with the Dual Cam or Blue Ox to make it worth the addtional cost at this time.

    I agree that starting with one of those two would have been better but since you already have spent the money to have two friction bars installed and they are working well for you, I would leave them alone.
    I would save my money for fuel unless you are dissatisfied with the friction bars for other reasons.

  • Another suggestion to offer is go for the best one you can afford to get. Nothing sucks more than you drop $500 now, when you "could" spend $800 on something better but you want to save a few dollars only to find out you really wish you spent the $800.

    Unless you have a really top end unit, your not going to get your full money back on a used wdh or even close to it.

    That said, you have a fairly short moderately weighing trailer, the reese pro series may be exactly what you need.

  • The heavier 750lbs one for sure. A 400lbs dry tongue weight will easily exceed 550lbs once propane and battery are added and the tt is loaded.
