    Anti-sway replacement advice

    The trailer mount for our anti-sway bar decided it wanted to retire. Looking for advice/guidance on how to replace. If the bolt holes line up, can I just put new ones in? Do I need to go up a size for the new bolts so they bite? And yes, I know to loosen the bar when we back up.

    Sway with a 2023 Rockwood mini lite 2509S Off Grid Camper pulled by 2013 F150 5.0

    I use a R6 with the 2509S and F150. Over 55 mph and vehicles passing cause a-lot of sway. Spec say it should work, but real life sway is horrible - any one experience an issue like this before with one of these campers?

    BlueOx SwayPro Torque Settings

    Anyone else having trouble torquing the bolts to 250ft/lbs? I have a torque wrench that goes that high, but I can't get past 160ft/lbs. Maybe I need an extension on the handle to get more leverage. Watching the BlueOx installation video on youtube, the guy is torquing to 250ft/lbs one-handed!

    Generator Bracket Sway

    Opened the generator compartment today to prepare for tune up and I noticed the whole generator sways back and forth. The brackets are just hanging down and not supported side to side.

    Backing up with sway bars on or off?

    The dealer we bought the trailer from hooked up the weight distribution hitch with the sway bars. The picture is not with everything hooked up, just to give an idea of the setup. When I need to back this into a campsite, can I leave the sway bars connected or do I have to remove them?
