Sway bars for travel trailers

[Dutch_Dolly]

We recently bought a 35' travel trailer with 3 slides. We are pulling it with a F250 super duty pickup. We are looking at both the Equalizer and the Swaypro. Does anyone have experience with either of these? Not sure which one or if there is something else we should get.

If your F250 is 2011+ it already has electronic sway control. I have the equalizer bars on my tiny 3600lbs(+gear, full water) 24' trailer and never felt the electronic sway kick in.

We have an equal I zer hitch with our 35 foot trailer. Works great and so easy to connect. 2 bars, clips and done. Was watching a friend hook up today, 2 bars with chains then had to use bar to lock in, pins to hold in place, then 2 sway bars with 2 pins each on and on, seemed like to much for me. Towing with a super duty is a good start and helps with sway.

Thanks for the link. Can you feel the brakes when applied? How frequent is the application? Have you noticed excessive brake wear. Sorry if this looks like a hijack, it just sounds intriguing. Thanks!

Did you try "DirectLink sway control" :S

Went to direct link and got nursing homes and mail forwarding services. Do you know a web address for them?

For your long travel trailer you want to consider an electronic sway control. The resistance dampers are just that. they dampen sway, they don't elininate it. Direct link has developed a system that works great. I've been using one for a while.

We have Blue Ox Sway Pro. Very easy to hook up and quiet.

Very happy with it.

Either one will do the job, as long as it is rated for your tongue weight.

With the Blue Ox Swaypro, the lubrication is internal, making installation, removal, and storage of the bars, a cleaner operation than many other hitches. It is also has a very easy installation and set up.
