    Searched for this on the forum and couldn't find anything yet so here you go!! My apologizes if there is already a thread on it somewhere. I watched it and first impression is that the truck was not nearly swaying as hard on the "Active" clip as the one that was purposely done to flip the...

    Sway control broke off

    Camping world transfered my hitch to new 8329ss. Put sway control ball mount on with 1/4 20 self tappers. Self tappers heads are smaller than holes in mounting plate. Just pulled right through. Did last about 3000 miles.

    Slight RV Sway

    My wife and I brought home our new 2016 Forester 3011 DS two days ago. When we did the test drive it was a very windy day and I thought that was what made the RV sway slightly. The driving feeling is sort of like when you put a lot of weight in the back of the bed of a pick up truck and the...

    Proper way to get out of a sway event?

    So I'm not asking how to avoid sway. I know you need the right TV, know your weights, know your distribution of said weights, properly inflated tires, properly adjust wdh etc. I'm asking, if for whatever reason someone was in an event that causes the trailer to sway drastically, what are the...

    Back in early July I posted about a problem with sway on our 2015 Rockwood Ultralight 2608WS.

We got the hitch readjusted as close to level as possible and with the...
