We are looking at the wild wood 26 btss I think was the model. I'm going to check those sway bars out for sure as safety is always a concern. Since this is my first trailer any tips on setting up and what to have ?
Thanks again
I will say that ALL of them have strong points, and weak points.
Here is what comes to mind of what I weighed when making my choice.
Dual Cam (AKA) Straight line. Finickey to set up right, often ends up with poor ground clearance, may require repositioning of propane tanks.
EQUALIZER. L brackets tend to loosen requiring periodic tightening.
Standard friction control. (many brands, all the same) The oldest design out there (maybe the first?) Lots of parts to hook up every time you tow. Have to be careful of potential clearance issues when turning sharp going forwards or more likely, backing up.
Hensely/Pro pride. In rare cases has been known to destroy recievers due to what is called the "bump" Can be the most difficult/frustrating to hook up. Very high cost.
These are the major brands and/or types, there are some others that are relative newcomers to the market. There is IMO, not enough out there to comment on at this point.
They will all make some noises. Some will find that objectionable, and prefer one over the other because of it. I just turn the radio up.:B
I only pointed out the negatives. They will all work. I will not go into what I consider the strong points of each. Many others will be along to sing the praises of their favorites and claim that theirs have no negatives.
I have used the standard friction type, with good service and now have the EQUALIZER.
