Backing Up with Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control Installed
Question:
I heard that you can only do very minor turning when backing up with unit some WDH. How does the RP66074 handle backing up?
asked by: Bill
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Strait-Line Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # RP66074 will allow you to back up but there isn't a set limit on what kind of angle you can get out of it.
If you are just going to be backing up somewhere like at a gas station then you should be just fine, but if you're talking about more severe angles like backing up at 90 degree angle at a campsite then I highly recommend disengaging the bars prior to backing up. Once parked you would normally remove the bars anyways so it would just be a matter of doing a step a little earlier than you normally would.
