Those are nice hitches but really expensive for short weekend excursions. Would a cheaper hitch with built in sway control an option?
Husky Centerline TS is a nice hitch for about $350 if I recall. When I bought my first trailer, dealer threw the Centerline hitch in for free. I liked it alot and it worked well for that trailer.
I recently upgraded my TV and my trailer, and hence my hitch as well. I have a Blue Ox Sway Pro now. I was back and forth on the Equalizer and Sway Pro, and decided on Sway Pro. I had to upgrade because the Husky hitch max tongue weight is 1200 and I was bumping up against that with the new trailer.
One word of advice. Don't cheap out on the hitch. Doesn't matter if it is a weekend, or full timing, the hitch is probably the single most important safety item you have available to you. Saving a hundred or so is less important than your safety in the end.
But, back to your question, again, the Husky Centerline is a nice setup, similar in design to Equalizer and worked very well for me on my first rig.
