Have you ever considered buying trailer but, didn’t have clue as to what hitch would best. There are so hitches available on the market ranging from couple of dollars to thousand dollars. For the sake of keeping it simple, will go 2 dt types of hitches.
Lets compare Husky weight distribution Hitch with single sway control bar to an Equalizer weight distribution Hitch. Ft of all the definition of weight distribution hitch is:
Weight distribution hitches distribute weight the entire length of tow vehicle and trailer, resulting in level ride with control and stability, braking, strain on vehicle and increased towing capacity.
The Husky hitch has load leveling bars that use chains to level the load of the tongue weight resulting in leveler ride. Wt load leveling bars your ride can be uncomfortable, you will feel the tow vehicle bouncing some ( depending on your vehicle ), as if some was jumping on your bumper. The Husky hitch is vy good hitch that has been for lg time. With this hitch you will have to use the Husky manual sway bar/bars. Sway bars help reduce trailer sway when driving. They do not eliminate trailer sway only reduce it. Kp in mind that if road conditions are causing big tractor haulers to pull then you should as well.
The Equalizer hitch also, has load leveling bars. However, they do not use chains to level the load. The weight distribution bars and saddles ( the part that connects to the trailer to hook the load leveling bars on ) are hard steel and do not allow much, if any movement what so ever. The nice about the Equalizer hitch is that, it has built in sway control on load leveling bars. This means that you, wouldn’t have to pull to adjust any sway bars as you would have to do so on the Husky hitch ( because it’s manual ).
Now, tg in mind there is difference in price but not much. The Husky is typically dollars cheaper. However, after the trip in your trailer you would most likely be wishing you had gotten the built in sway from the Equalizer hitch. Always, do your research to which hitch fits your and budget. Bh of these manufacturers with new and improved products every year, so it pays to do your research.
Final note, make se your tow vehicle is properly rated to tow the travel trailer you are looking to purchase.
