I have had no experience with the Equalizer hitch. I tried a couple of other brands until I found the Reese Dual Cam hitch. I used the Reese for 15 years and had great experiences, easy to hook up and use. The greatest feature for me was the control and stability when traveling down the road. Passing big 18 wheelers comming at you was no longer a white knuckle hang on to the steering wheel experience.
The Reese Dual Cam really proved its control and stability when a car had a blow out when he was passing the trailer and his car rammed right into my rear wheels on my truck. My trailer travel from the right hand land clear over to the outer edge of the left hand lane. The trailer made a big S shaped turn but then came right back into the right lane with no damage. I just keep my hands firm on the steering wheel and allowed the Reese Dual Cam to straighten the trailer and truck up. I pulled over and stopped. The only damage was my rear fender and running board. A CHP happened to be traveling behind and saw the whole incident. :):) No damage to the trailer or the hitch and was able to continue on in to Ariz. The Dual Reese Cam provided me almost the same degree of stability features as my new 5th wheel Reese hitch and 5th. wheel. Made a believer out of me:)
