[A/S] Re: A different hitch option

[aries720@xxxxxxxx]

Charlie, I agree with you 100% on the effectiveness of th Equal-I-Zer 
hitch.

We recently purchased a 1998 28' Excella weighing 6750 lbs dry. My 
dealer urged me to buy the Equal-I-Zer hitch rather than the other 
hitch I was contemplating which was the more expensive Reese hitch 
with the dual cam sway control. I had a Reese on a previously owned 
32' Holiday Rambler and I occasionally had to deal with some slight 
sway at times with that unit.

I took the advice and bought the Equal-I-Zer for our long wheelbase 
Dodge Cummins 4WD pickup. Yesterday, we were returing from our last 
camping trip of the season traveling eastbound on I-80 in 
Pennsylvania from Dubois to Milesburg under a high wind warning. I-80 
in PA is a never ending series of up and down mountains. Winds were 
southeast 25-35 mph with higher gusts so they would have been 
quartering the trailer from the front as we traveled east.

I expected a white knuckle, wind battling trip but it never happened. 
The trailer politely followed the truck with no sway. I even got off 
the pedal going downhill as a tractor trailer passed me and the unit 
never moved. The hitch was rather noisy at times but I'll trade the 
noise for the lack of sway every day of the week. All in all, an 
impressive performance on a rough towing day from a hitch that costs 
2/3 as much as the dual cam unit from Reese.

I thank you for your thoughts on the subject,

Al Ries
