Weight Distribution System and Sway Control for a 2008 Chevy Suburban Towing a Large Pop-Up Camper
Question:
I am completely confused as to whether I need weight distribution and/or anti-sway control and more importantly which type of sway control for my rig. I own a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban 4x4 with a factory provided Hitch I assume a Class IV... I am going to be purchsing a 2009 Fleetwood Avalon Pop Up this unit is the largest that Fleetwood manufacturers = 4,600 GVWR and a tingue weight of around 400 pounds. Can you please tell me what type of WDH / sway system I need to make sure I have installed so that I get the best ride possible.

Expert Reply:
The Reese High Performance Trunnion System, part # RP66020 would be ideal for your situation. This system also works with our Dual Cam High Performance Sway Control System, part # RP26002. This top of the line sway control system will prevent your trailer from swaying before it even happens. Using the weight distribution system will prevent the rear of your Suburban from squatting once the trailer is hitched by transferring a portion of the tongue weight to the front axle of your truck. You will also notice an improvement in traction, braking, and steering performance.
