New to RVing and we are going to pick up our new Wolf Pack 25Pack 12+ this Saturday. We have a 3/4 ton Ram diesel truck and need some help with picking out the correct WHD and Sway Hitch. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

Hi, I have a Forest River 320 BH 37 Foot long using 2017 F150 and a Blueox system. I still feel sway when windy. Should I add a Blue Ox brake pad anti sway friction bar ?:)
Sway is something no one likes, and yet it happens sometimes. I've seen scary dash cam videos of trailers and tow vehicles rolling over in cases where sway got out of control. Some folks have told me that in the event that you sense sway getting to the point that you feel it might be dangerous...
We recently purchased our Isata 3 in Goshen Indiana and drove cross county over 2000 miles. Love the unit, lots of room for us and our oversize black lab! Our main concern is the sway problem in wind and passing truck traffic. We thought that the Helwig would take care of it, but no. We...
I have a 2019 Shasta Pheonix 370fe. I tow it with a 2017 ram 2500 stock short bed with a Reece 25K Q. The receiver is bolted on the lowest hole (after our fittest trip) . We encountered sway at 65. Anyone have similar problems.
I currently have a 2015 chevy 2500 with towing package. It has a anti-sway integration. The 32 foot travel trailer still produces sway above 60 MPH. What devices are available to install to eliminate the sway in the trailer?
Is there really any difference between sway bars? Do they all work primarily as well as each other? I have a 35' 832OKBS Forest River Signature series pull trailer.
Any thoughts on a storage spot for my sway control bars ? I grease them on the contact areas..I am storing them in my front compartment--Is a greasy mess in there. Can i weld a pipe on the frame and set them in it out of the way ? Nick
Has anyone had one of the safety pins come out when they were pulling a bumper pull? Got to the camp ground and noticed one of the safety pins in our curt sway bar control was missing?
Just got the beast out to wash and get it ready for the Texas Trip. After changing the oil and filter in the generator, I looked at the rear sway bar and it was completely UN-HOOKED from the axle. Only had one bolt and one bracket left. I had done the CHF about 5000 miles ago and DID use...

Just bought a camper and I’m looking for advice to properly install this hitch. Any input is appreciated as I want to make sure it’s done correctly. The directions it came with are absolutely terrible.
Users with Equalizer Sway Control Hitches, I would appreciate your help. We bought our TT new in April and the dealer installed a Equalizer Sway Control Hitch. Wrong. A trip back to the dealer and it was still wrong. Took it to Pat Rogers Hitches here in Marietta and the corrected the...
Just made our “maiden” voyage in out new 33.5 foot Salem 241 RKSS-having just traded in our 26 foot 2017 QBXL Cruise Lite. After a 2.5 hour drive down very straight highways and freeways, I arrive to find my anti-sway bar handging off the hitch attach point. The frame attach point was bent...
Driving I-75 north from Sarasota, Fl. on September 10th, I was driving about 65 mph in the right hand lane approaching the construction zone around the Brooksville (Route 50) exit. As some of you may know, the posted speed in this area is 60 mph and the lanes narrow from 3 to two and they are...
I seen a post on here a couple months ago with similar problem and similar 5th wheel but can’t find it now I have became member. Anyway I have a brand new Arctic wolf 295qsl8 with the Lippert turning point hitch. first trip with it 50 miles into it we had a very bad sway going 65mph, I slowed...
After much research I bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee and it is a great car. It can pull 6200 Lbs and comes with a full size spare. I plan to tow a 17' Escape. What recommendations for the Hitch and sway bars does anyone have when using this as a TV? What experiences do other Grand Cherokee...
OK, this may be a dumb question but I have seen a few posts on c class motorhome that have sway bars? What is the purpose and /or benefit? I always thought they were for something being towed. Even a travel trailer or fifth wheel.
Is there a system where I can use just a bolt on friction sway control on a regular (non-wd) hitch?
Just bought a new f-150. I don’t feel it needs a WD hitch as my tongue weight is only 350lbs. (FR NOBO 19.5). I do like my sway control though. Previous TV was a Tacoma.
Thanks.
I posted recently about installing an Equalizer WDH on my TV and TT and finally getting to try out the Equalizer on a camping trip I just returned from. Well, it appears the mystery as to why I was having so much trailer sway has finally been solved.
A member responded to my earlier post that...
Hello all !
We are total newbs out of the gate with months of research already done and this may sound like a dumb question. I am considering budgeting for the sway control/WD hitch options.
Ive already put money down/ordered my 2019 F250 gas-160" ( camper package / 12.5k max tow )
We are...
Sold my 4,600 lb, 26’ camper and bought a 7,300 lb, 27’ camper. TV is 2500 Ram. I needed very little WD with the former, and wondering about the latter. I am considering Andersen. Arthritis in hands makes it a bear to handle the 75lb hitch, the 20lb torsion bars, and then connecting friction...
