Weight distribution hitch with sway control?

[COPPERHEAD42]

Anyone ever used one? They work good? I am thinking about getting one for my camper I picked up today.

Would definitely recommend one, the in laws has a 30' bumper pull camper and it makes it

I'm going to build a platform behind camper to put rzr on sideways.

Hell yea!! I would love to have me a toy hauler! :****:

Talk to Osborn he always uses one.
You get rid of the slide in?

Will the frame be able to handle it? You may consider just double towing

The last time I was asked to do this, there was a piece of frame that was 1/8" max thick and short as hell back there to tie onto. I said I wouldn't do it not enough meat there to attach to. Look long and hard at it, then think about how bad it will drag with the current overhang you have.

I'm not sure how thick the frame is but its pretty big boxed frame. I was going to put new platform on a angle so it goes back up higher so it dont drag or run the entire platform higher theb tge frame.

This is the hitch we have been using for about 12 years with out bumper pull camper. It is a good system.

my .02= too much weight hanging back there. also, imagine 6 extra feet hanging back when pulling in ANYWHERE. drag like ****. did you happen to consider a 5th wheel so you can legally pull a trailer behind it. also take into cosideration any slight chance of an incident. if you alter that frame or add onto it, will insurance even talk to you about a claim. only reason i say this is i lookied into adding a 3rd row seat in the tahoe before i traded it off. it didnt come with one and i was looking into just adding a factory one(there are mounting tabs under the carpet). everyone on the forums i was researching on threw that out and made my mind up pretty quick

my truck is to high for a 5th wheel, I have also thought about doing this to haul rzr

I figured that would be a 35% site, hmmm.

Pretty much what I was hoping for.

The equalizer is a must in windy conditions.Build you a wooden flatbed on the truck,everyone else is doing it .LOL

Copperhead, You can build something like a sled/atv deck we build. The 1 pic is a 2 place its 102" wide with a 10' ramp. You still have full use of the bed underneith.

Or if your bed is wide enough to fit the XP you could some up with something like the 1 place decks we make. These are shitty pics but you will get the idea. You would make it a bit higher to go over the wheel wells of the bed.

THe back of these decks fold up so you can still shut the gate.

I would also recommend getting one. The difference in handling is like night and day. We pulled a friend's camper from Panama City, Fl up to Nashville back in beginning of May for my son and his wife's graduation. I couldn't believe how much better it was than pulling our old one without the load equalizer.

You will not regret it.
