    Newbie with sway bar question

    I’ve just purchased a 2021 coachmen 246rks that I haven’t picked up yet. We’re about to purchase a sway bar kit and having trouble finding the ball size necessary for our camper. We had a lying salesman so we decided to purchase the sway bar on our own because at some point we stopped trusting...

    TT level, but still sway

    Maybe I'm doing it wrong but the TT is level at the campsite, tires chocked, and 4 stabilizer jacks deployed. However the TT still sways somewhat left and right if making sudden movement in the cabin. Should I have lifted the 4 corners up more and leave the tires barely on the ground?

    I have a 2018 F150 SuperCab/5.5ft bed/3.5L/Max Tow, with a Husky CenterLine TS pulling a Rockwood Ultralite 2706WS. I've been told that putting airbags on my rear suspension will help with sway. I'm having a difficult time understand how that is possible. I figure the only way to...

    Andersen anti-sway/WD hitch price break

    Just an FYI for anyone about to buy an Andersen anti-sway/WD hitch. To me $600 (with shipping) is a lot to pay for a trailer hitch, especially after just buying the camper and $600-$800 of other add-ons. So once I decided on the Andersen I called a couple of distributors but no one would come...

    As I was hitching up today, I noticed a change in the wear patterns where the sway control bars hit the hold down brackets. See photos. The wear used to be relatively even on the lower brackets, but now it is definitely biased toward the front (see the newly shiny areas indicated by the red...

    front end swaying

    I purchased a new 2019 30DS FR3. It only has 4000 miles on it (Corina virus had us parked for the past year). The mileage was 2000 when we purchased it. My issue is the steering I think. The front feels really sloppy and it wants to sway to the left and right. I just got back from a 400 mile...

    112 sway bar kit front shock upgrade?

    Does anyone know of a sway bar kit that can be added to the M2 112? Drove through 7-hours of horrendous wind yesterday although the XL did extremely well (I would have parked the old DP and waited it out) I figure a sway bar would help... Any one switch to Bilstein front shocks?

    Trailer Sway

    I have a F150 Eco Screw pulling Rockwood coming in at 8800 dry. I use a reese pro 11000lb wdh and 2 reese friction bars also. 1. I adjusted the wdh so that I had proper weight going to front (equal squat front and back). 2. Bars are tightened down tight. It still sways. Thoughts?
