RE: [A/S] Hitches, Brakes & Covers



When we bought our first TT last summer, the salesman tried to sell us an
Equil-I-Zer and I thought, as I had air shocks, it was not needed.  He
didn't explain that it would lower the hitch weight or I would have been
interested.  So, he sold us a Reese swaybar and sent us on our way.  After a
couple of shake-down weekends, we brought it back for some warranty work and
the service guy gave me a DVD about the Hensley, which convinced me but, by
that time, I had already bought the sway bar, which they would not give me a
credit for and the financing for the TT was already a done deal.  So, we
headed out from New Hampshire to Utah (mostly I-80) and I had no problems
with only the swaybar.  Once I got it away from those eastern rollin' hills,
I drove 60 - 70.

He also didn't explain that I could use the brake controller manually (a
Tekonsha Primus) and the manual only walked me through adjusting it to a
"medium" range.  Thanks for letting me know I can do that; now I need to
figger out whether it's the wheel, the slide or the rocker arm!

"Airstreams that look like waffles"
We covered the TT with CALMARK's tan sunbrella fabric; it looks more like a
huge loaf of bread.  We uncovered it last weekend and I did not notice any
discoloration or patterns.
