How to hook up a Equalizer E4 Sway Control Weight Distribution Hitch to a Travel Trailer Camper

[sandramichaud]

4/24. First year I’ve had trouble with lifting the bars into place. My not so Smart Jack has to be replaced so I can do it manually for now. Seeing you lift it so the bars go into place, helped me understand, what wasn’t working for me. Thanks so much. 😘

the pin he is messing with at 1:32, somehow mine came off while pulling into my driveway. When I got out of my truck and walked past my hitch, the tension bar was sticking straight out towards me. I thought for sure the pin was gone for good. Took a stroll down the drive and found it near the road. I don't know how it came off, and Im sure glad it didn't come off miles before!!!

Thanks. I have a very hard time attaching my sway bars. Now I know why. The fellers who showed me how missed 2 steps.

Thanks. I have that hitch and it works very well.

Thanks so much for the GREAT DEMO! I didn't know how these worked!

[larryjones]

How about a demo on the installation before the hookup...

[pecosb]

Good demo Thanks, now what is that "Jack it" on your right for?

Ten years ago I invested 3% of the value of my truck and RV in a Hensley. With one of these to make a turn you are fighting friction, if some force makes the trailer sway you will again be fighting the same amount of friction to get straight again. Call me full of baloney, but at night with my Hensley, I'll look for the RV lights to see if it still there.

Your breakaway brake cable MUST be shorter than your chains. If not, if there's a hitch failure, your trailer will be pulled along by chains, before the breakaway cable can fully extend and trip the switch. Also, keep in mind that, with this method, your power trailer jack is lifting both the front end of the trailer and the back end of the truck. Make sure your jack can handle the weight.

New to travel trailer ownership and have this system on our TT.

I see that after the TT is connected to the ball, you then raise the TT up before installing the weight distribution bars. How does one know when it is raised high enough to connect those bars?

Thanks in advance!

would u be able to do a video on how to remove them sway bars just got an rv and i cant remove them would i need to force it out thank u

[thomasrobertson]

I own this as well and am quite happy with it

[Josh-yhnc]

I've read quite a bit that WD hitches cost stress on the TT frame and contribute to failure. Have you heard any of this and is there a solution?

This video needs to start with the beginning of the installation.

What kind of tongue jack is that? I have the 'jackit bike wing' and not sure what model of jack to buy.

the breakaway will not kick in with that springy connection as it will stretch longer than chains you need a cable that does not stretch and that is shorter than the distance of your chains when fully stretched out so the brakes would not activate also to keep your power cable and breakaway from getting pinched or dragging route them through the hitch pin on the top side

Anyone notice the safety chain connected to a carabiner? 😮

[WilbertRobichaud]

I have the same hitch system. One bar is always hard to slip on or take off. It has so much tension on it that it even warns the bracket. Not sure why or what to do.

Are you able to let the tailgate down on the truck with the trailer connected?

[dougdavis]

On your break away cable it should be a cable not a plastic curly cable because of the strength for if the trailer happens to come off the ball u want the breaks to shut down quickly
