Question

Question:

I have a 2013 F150 and am towing a 36ft. travel trailer. We are looking to drive from Maine down to Tennessee and I am wondering if I should buy one or two anti-sway bars, I have weight distribution already. And what would you recommend Thanks

That is a good question, and for a travel trailer that is 36 feet long you will want to use two of the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660.

It is always recommended you use two of these sway control bars for trailers that are longer than 26 feet in order to get the best sway control on longer trailers due to their higher tendency for back-and-forth movement.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the the Reese Friction Sway Control Kit # 83660.

Since your trailer has the bracket #FRCBRKT-BL that would mean your trailer has the Furrion pre-wiring which is very common for newer RVs. The part #FOS43TASF is a fit for this and would be a really easy install. This gives you a monitor with a 4.3…
