    Has anyone ever used a WDH with separate sway control box or bar if that's what it's called. Below is the picture of my hitch. I've used the round bar control but never this?

    2017 34qs towing

    I would like to tow with my 34qs but I see it only has a 5k hitch on it. How would I go about getting a 10k hitch? I feel like the RV can handle it.

    Towing

    I have a Hemisphere 282rk that I recently bought. When I brought it home I had the weight distribution hitch on but not the sway bar control. The trailer is 35ft long dry weight is about 6700 lbs. I'm towing it with a 2012 Ford f350. So my question is do I need to have one on there.

    What are the warning signs of improper towing?

    I’m completely new to towing and even if I’m doing everything by the (manufacture’s) book, I still have no concept of what physically “feels right or wrong” when driving. Should I be watching/worrying about RPM? If I feel any bounce or sway is that a problem or normal? What else should I be...

    Anyone haul a small fishing boat in the truck while towing?

    I am just thinking way ahead here, but someday it would be nice to bring a little 10 or 12 foot boat along. I don't even have a trailer yet but just wondering how this could be accomplished. If it were just in the bed of a 6.5 foot bed truck, it would probably stick out too far and hit the...
