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...

Personally, I opted for WD/Sway combo. I got the Reese Strait-Line (1200#) system. I have sway control anytime I am towing and never have to remove it to back up. Others have different systems that work just as well. (I didn't get the Equalizer only because of all of the posts I have read that talk about the noises it makes.)
I grease the sockets on my Equalizer 4 point per the owner's manual. When I hitch up, I put just a dab of grease on the L bracket to keep it quiet. The manual for the Reese states the same if noise is bothersome. My Reese HP trunnion and Equalizer 4 point run quiet.
