Weight Distribution vs Sway Bars
I am told that some people have both a weight distribution hitch and a sway bar for their travel trailer; while others have told me that you only need one or the other. I just purchased a new trailer...

Are you just towing on the ball right now or do you have a Weight Distribution hitch?
What specific trailer did you buy?
A Weight Distribution hitch works to distribute the tongue weight across the axles of the vehicle. Mostly to return the unloaded weight off the front axles back onto the axles.
You can add on sway bars to a standard weight distribution hitch. Use two for a camper Your length.
You can also buy a hitch with integrated sway control. Equal-I-Zer and Reese Dual Cam are popular hitches.
I personally prefer the old fashioned standard weight distribution hitches and add on sway controls.
X2 on weighing the rig.
Thanks!
