Can Friction Sway Control be Added to a Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System
Question:
Hi, I currently have a Fastway E2 trunnion hitch to tow my HTT Starcraft 197RB 3700 lbs but even with this hitch correctly installed and a normal weight ratio on the ball 12 I still experience sway. Last trip was very frightening when I almost lost it... So Im looking at the Reese Strait Line hitch in replacement of my E2, and my question is is it possible to install a friction sway control in addition to this hitch to have a virtually no sway setup?

If you use a Reese Strait-Line system such as # RP66082 and set it up properly you won't need any additional sway control. Which is good because you wouldn't be able to add any more anyway!
The dual-cam sway control on these systems has to be dialed in just right but when it is the trailers are solid. It is imperative to do test rides so that you can gauge the effectiveness of the dual-cam sway control and make tweaks as needed.
If you were to add a bunch of sway control components you would eventually not be able to turn without damaging the systems, the trailer, or both!
