While we're at it, I'll mention my hitch, which I absolutely love. The
Equalizer. www.equalizerhitch.com. Spent the bux and got the highest-rated
one they had, cost me $493 shipped. Load-leveling and Anti-Sway, all in one
unit.
I've towed into headwinds, crosswinds, and speeds up to 85 mph, and the
trailer doesn't sway in the least. No, the speed isn't a frequent thing. :)
The hitch just plain rocks.
