Compatibility of Curt True Course with NuCamp 3,500 lb Trailer

Question:

I just put a order for a Curt True Course. My truck is Dodge Ram 1500 with air suspension. Of course my truck bed will be full of my camping gear . Towing trailer Newcamp 1 axle 3500 pounds at full load do I need other weight distribution or stabilizer bar on my trailer. Or should I be happy with Curt only without other add-ons. Thank you.

The Curt True Course Electronic Sway Control System # C94VV will help with sway by activating your trailer brakes side to side as needed. That will work just fine on your 3,500 lb trailer. Your air suspension should help with the load leveling of your truck cargo, so you should be good to go. If you experience rear sag on your truck when towing, then you would want to consider weight distribution and a more mechanical sway control.

I would have recommended using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET before recommending the Curt system because it prevents sway versus reacting to it. I've attached an article to assist.
