[A/S] Equal-izer



Hi Chris,

I've used 750# Reese spring bars with Reese dual cams on my Safari for the
last ten years. 

A simple test of leaving a plastic dish in the sink 1/4 full of water has
consistently resulted in no water being tossed out of it after a days run.
That's about as sophisticated a test as I need for determining if the Safari
is or isn't bouncing around.

You didn't mention how tight you cinched up the bars, but I don't cinch mine
as tight on this '67 22' Airstream as I do with my '77 31' Airstream which
has Reese 1,000# spring bars with dual cams and dual Reese friction bars
(this is what we're using while playing Snowbird this winter).

I tow our '67 22' Safari with either our '86 GMC Suburban 1500 (6.2L diesel)
or our '75 Mercury Wagon (460 CID V8).

Hope this helps,
