Equalizer vs Dual Cam
I am currently pulling a roughly 9,000 lb 34' camper with a Reese Round bar WDH and friction sway control. My bars are rated at 1,000 lbs, I am sure tongue weight is substantially more but they seem ...

Quote from above post: "What is a little unnerving to me is that I have towed 'on the ball' and with the Equalizer hitch and cannot tell any difference in sway mitigation. If this hitch really worked I am sure I would feel something in the steering or in how the tow vehicle and trailer work together. Again physics vs. seat of the pants. Where is the sway benefit for those with properly loaded trailers with about 13 percent on the tongue?" Actually, both the DC and the Equalizer rely on proper setup to function properly. In fact a poorly adjusted hitch of either type will be useless, as they both rely on TW for their anti sway properties.
So if one is not wiling/able to adjust them properly, they would be better served by a friction control, as it will provide some sway resistance even if the hitch setup is terrible. And I live where the great American author Mark Twain in his book Roughing It wrote about how hard the Washoe Zephyr winds blow. And they blow much of the time.
