What is the Difference Between the Draw-Tite and Reese Versions of Dual Cam Sway Control
Question:
Are there any differences between the dual cam sway control from draw-tite 26102 vs Reese 26002? I have a draw-tite round bar head assembly rated 10,000# with 1000# bars and towing a 6000# TT with 980# TW if any of that matters.

Expert Reply:
The Reese and Draw-Tite products are manufactured by the same parent company, this means that the # 26102 and # 26002, Dual Cam Sway Control systems are the same, but there is a difference in the generations of the systems. The older systems had Hanger Brackets that were straight like part # 58192, 2nd generation systems were re-engineered and had curved hanger brackets like you see on part # RP26002, that you referenced. Finally, there are now 3rd generation systems that have gone back to the straight hanger brackets #58192.
There are also differences in the measurements you need to take for the older and newer systems, when installing them. I added a link to the instructions for the newer system for you to review. You should consult the instructions included with the older system if you are installing one on your trailer.
If your round spring bars have the curve in the end then the dual cam system, # RP26002, will work with your system. If your spring bars have straight ends like part # PS58441, you will not be able to use the dual cam system without changing out the spring bars.
