Weight Distribution Recommendation with Best Sway Control for Jayco Travel Trailer
Question:
I have a jayco travel trailer 37’ 1200+ tongue weight and about 10500lbs. I’m currently using a camco recurve r6 hitch. I’m getting quite a bit of sway on the inner state. I’m kinda thinking my hitch is in adequate? Was considering a Reese Straight Line 1500lb bars. The camco is a nice hitch but the weight I’m towing just think in need a better sway control system..

Expert Reply:
The Reese Strait Line systems like the part # RP66130 that you referenced has the best sway control over any other WD system including the Camco you have. It's the only one that works to fight sway before it starts. You will see a reduction in sway with this kit. Also keep in mind that if you can move any of the trailer's cargo forward to add more tongue weight you'll also see a reduction in sway.
For a hitch ball you'd then want the part # C40030 and for a shank part # RP54970.
