Comparing Lippert Electronic Sway Control and Tuson Electronic Sway Control For 1977 31' Airstream
Question:
I have a 21 Ford Expedition XL with Max Trailer Tow Pkg and a 77 31foot Airstream Sovereign two axles. Im in the process of a full rebuild on the Airstream and Im wondering if the Tuscon or Lippert would be a better choice for sway control. After reading your previous comparison and recommendation of the Lippert system I wasnt sure how much the rewiring of the brakes was factoring into your recommendation. Being I have to rewire my brakes either way this wont be much of an inconvenience to me. I do play a premium on reliability and price however so unless the Tuscon system performs substantially better Id be inclined to go with the Lippert.

Even though you will still be rewiring your 1977 31' Airstream Sovereign tandem axle trailer I still recommend going with the Lippert Sway Command Electronic Sway Control # LC380605 over the Tuson # 335TSC-1000.
The reason for this is the Lippert # LC380605 uses a built in gyroscope to detect sway and correct it before it occurs where the Tuscon # 335TSC-1000 uses preset algorithms that in my opinion are a bit less effective. Combine that with the fact that the Lippert # LC380605 is easier to install, and has a wide range of mounting locations it really seals the deal.
The only reason I would recommend going with the # 335TSC-1000 is if your trailer had more than two braking axles due to the Lippert option being limited to two braking axles.
I included a video of the # LC380605 for you to take a look at.
