Have a Rockwood 1940LTD on order & trying to determine (1) IF I need a weight distribution hitch, (2) If I need one with sway control.
I will be towing with a 2018 F150 SuperCrew, 2.7 V6/4x4. The "dry" weight on the 1940 is 1600#, dry tongue weight 200#. So Im assuming probably a "loaded...
We recently bought a 2021 Flagstaff Epro 19FD, with a weight of about 3100 lbs. and we tow with our 2015 BMW X5 35D. Should we have a sway bar? Any suggestions?:campfire:
I am picking up an Apex 290 BHS soon. Want to order my hitch. The recommendation I got was for a # BXW0753 which has a tongue weight range of 550 lbs - 750 lbs.
The trailer specifications are :
Hitch Weight:758 lb.GVWR:7600 lb.UVW6168 lb.CCC1432 lb..
If I use 15% of GVWR or 76000 lbs x .15=...
Been doing alot of research online and on this forum. But Just wondering if all WDH with sway control do the same thing? Which Brand do I get? so many choices..
I got a the trailer hitch weight as 415. so adding stuff to it I will say my hitch weight will be around 520lbs. Now my question is Do...
I have new 2021 30DS and new to RV, had TT before.
I have two questions:
One: Should the RV make a lot noise while being driven on freeway? Just seems really loud can’t even have a conversation whiteout speaking loud or maybe just not use to it.
Two: While driving the RV sways a little...
I am selling my HD front and an auxiliary add on rear Roadmaster sway bars. I took them off my coach and they are 2-3 yrs old, but in dry good condition. These are for a 22k chassis. I’m asking $1000 installed or $900 you pick up. Also have a Roadmaster Reflex steering stabilizer with 22k...
I have a 2018 Sunseeker 3010DS. Considering improving the steering and sway. Have been suggested Billstein Steering Damper/Roadmaster Steering Stabilizer. Are they one in the same? Which would be better for the money? Are Hellwig Sway Bars needed for the money? Any help would be appreciated...
We recently bought a 2014 Solera 24r. After a very windy and bouncy drive on i80 and i5, we are ready to upgrade the rear suspension. Just ordered a new sway bar and we are now looking at shocks. Our 4x4 Sprinter has Fox Shocks and they work great. Our Solera does not have the raised blocks...
Greetings, I have a 2016 Chevy Suburban Tow Vehicle and a 2020 wildwood 19dbxl trailer. Chevy has auto leveling and stabiltrak. We have now had 4 incidents with the eaz lift 1200.
1. Turned out of Wendy's onto 4 lane going left and the little ball on the hitch snapped in half...
Immediately after the first trip in our 2015 sunseeker 3170DS, which I purchased last April with 30K miles, I installed a Roadmaster rear antisway bar and a Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer. When I took the Ford factory steering stabilizer of, I could play it like an accordion...
I have a 2017 Salem Hemisphere 23rbhl. (Empty weight: about 4900 lbs) This question is more about my weight distribution hitch set up.. than this particular camper.. so those who use a Andersen WDH.. your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
I have owned several campers and different WDHs...
I have done the CHF and still need a stronger front sway bar. I have read several posts that recommend the Roadmaster RM 1139-140 for the F-53 chassis.
I have seen Blue Ox and Hellwig sway bars, any opinion on any of these manufactures?
Thanks,
Eugene
My previous mh was so tough to handle on the road that I installed a steering stabilizer, upgraded rear sway bar and added a trac bar.
Now have a 2017 369xl with steering stabilizer and did the chf a couple of years ago. Handles reasonably well, but in strong winds it’s a bear.
Want to avoid...
Curious if anyone else has seen this happen (driver side sway link snapped clean in half). 15k miles on our 2018 GT 369XL (24k F53 chassis). Happened somewhere between Ca. And Pa. Crappy highways of course.
I did shift sway linkage to CHF position on front only. No visible contact that would...
I think I am having some issues with my BlueOx Swaypro hitch. TV is a 2019 Ram 1500, TT is a 2019 279RLDS, I have 1500# bars on the hitch, it pulls pretty good, but when I try to remove the swaypro it releases with a bang. I lift the TV pretty high in the air and when you look inside the...
This is a cautionary tale about sway. It is a long post so bear with me or just skip the story. We had a 2020 19’, picked up in February in Sumas, camped our way home to Colorado and prepared for a whole summer of camping trips. Then Covid arrived and our plans fell like dominos. Nonetheless we...
I’m installing Hellwig anti-sway bars, front and rear, on my 2016 Forester. Hellwig provides torque values for the rear. But on the front, which reuses the factory bolts, they say torque to manufacturer’s specs. An internet search has given me values ranging from:
Front bolts 111 ft. lbs...
Updating an old thread...
Did you install a Ram 3500 rear bar? Hellwig does not seem to offer a front for the RAM 3500 - and nothing for the 5500 which I believe has a different suspension set up as compared with the 3500?
Our new to us trailer came with a Blue Ox Sway Pro hitch that I know very little about other then it was a lot more expensive than the EAZ Lift I had with my last trailer.
I watched a video and read some online so I have adjusted the height to match my truck (standard stuff).
I'm reading...
Hi Folks,
New to TT this year. Have a Cruise lite 24' and a '16 F150 3.5 ecoboost. I was sold a Centreline anti sway/weight distribution hitch with the TT.
Recently I went pick up the TT to prepare for a trip and forgot the key to the storage locker where the bars are for the hitch are stowed...
I was driving on the highway and the wind wasn't very noticeable but was passing a FR Flagstaff at 75 mph, he was prob going 65. He was swaying quite a bit and was surprised. He had a ford 250. the trailer looked like a
Curiosity hit me as I get a little sway with some wind and I always felt...
