Re: [A/S]



   I've looked at the Reese dual cam anti-sway system.
     It looks good, but won't work with the rest of the things up front
the way I'd like.
=============
I have used the Reese Dual Cam system on four different A/S, the latest 
being a '56 Bubble.  In this instance I had to move the "tray" that 
holds the butane bottles back a little bit to allow for the Reese 
attachment that mounts on frame to which the dual cam chains hooked.  I 
have met several folks who have had the rigid bar type sway control 
that have discontinued use because they always seem to eventually bend 
the control because they failed to adjust it for certain conditions, 
particularly as I recall when the are backing into spaces.  The dual 
cam only requires adjustment to get the proper level (distribution) 
between trailer and tow vehicle and this can be a one time adjustment 
that can be marked and then repeatedly connected to the same links.
