    Andersen anti-sway/WD hitch price break

    Just an FYI for anyone about to buy an Andersen anti-sway/WD hitch. To me $600 (with shipping) is a lot to pay for a trailer hitch, especially after just buying the camper and $600-$800 of other add-ons. So once I decided on the Andersen I called a couple of distributors but no one would come...

    Change in Wear Patterns on E2 Hitch Sway Control Bars

    As I was hitching up today, I noticed a change in the wear patterns where the sway control bars hit the hold down brackets. See photos. The wear used to be relatively even on the lower brackets, but now it is definitely biased toward the front (see the newly shiny areas indicated by the red...

    Hitch recommendation

    I had a equalizer brand on my last trailer but sold it with unit. I now have purchased a old 26ft trailer to be pulled with my 2014 chevy 1500 crewcab. Do the chain hitches work as good or should I go back to the equalizer or another brand? Thanks Michael

    Popping and Squeaking Hitch

    I've been pulling a Rockwood 2109s using a Blue Ox hitch for about three years. Never had any issues with it being noisy. On my last camping trip a couple of weeks ago after hitching up, I noticed that there was a lot of popping and squeaking. I have always pulled the anti sway chain up to...

    GeoPro hitch or bumper addition

    Hi everyone, I am the proud new owner of a GeoPro 20BHS. The trailer does not come with a hitch receiver or a bumper. Does anyone know if these are things that can be added to this trailer? Has anyone done this? I am not finding anything definitive online. Thanks!

    New hitch

    Swapped out the Demco Recon for the B&W Patriot 18k. Haven't got to tow with it yet but hopefully I will get to do a test tow this weekend. From my initial handling of it this thing is sturdy and well built. The Demco had a lot of slack in the jaws and made for a lot of chucking and the finish...

    I've had a short on the trailer hitch power socket on my 2019 ISATA 3 24 FW.
